Would somebody mind explaining the 2nd call to the diamond guy lurking on the board? I thought the rule read in college that one could go voluntarily out of bounds as long as someone else touched the ball after you returned in bounds.

The pass was to the player who went out of bounds.

(Loss of down at the previous spot. )

This play is officiated differently using NFHS and NCAA-M rules. When a player voluntarily goes/runs out of bounds:

NFHS = violation is called immediately when the act occurs.
NCAA-M = violation is called when/if player in question is the first person to touch the ball after re-establishing his position inbounds.

And this is where the confusion comes in. The actual first person to thouch the ball after he returned was the passer. What they really mean by that rule is that the player is the next person to receive the ball after returning inbounds. If the pass had gone elsewhere, then to him, it would have been legal.

That was my understanding. But if so, everybody should be calling this a missed call, the player who went out of bounds was inbounds before the pass was released. So what gives?

[Posted this before I saw Camron's answer.] Camron, thanks, that's exactly what my confusion was. Even if he'd been inbounds for 33 seconds and took the direct pass still out of bounds?

I think there is some grey area between the words of the rule and how it is intended. If the player ran around inbounds for 25 seconds after returning from OOB while his teammate held the ball the entire time, I don't believe it is the intent of the rule to call a violation. It is mostly meant to keep a player from getting a direct advantage by going OOB on purpose and returning to immediately receive the ball while the defense is trying to catch up with the player.

BTW, the NCAAW rule is the same, and I get a violation on this once or twice a year.

For the most part this guy doesn't trust his partners OR has to be the man.

Not seeing any big controversy on the first play. The T goes straight to two-handed reporting of the foul on #31. He doesn't seem surprised or confused by the C waving the shot off. Did he maybe verbalize "No shot" as he started walking to the table?

#2 is the L's call all the way.

#3...well. Yeah.

Not sure how those 3 add up to him not trusting his partner or trying to "be the man".

Not sure about "has to be the man" quote, I just think if he is a little more patient, he won't have a whistle on the last play...
