Looks good to me. She had picked up the ball about the same time as the contact.

On the Men's side, that would not be a shooting foul because upward motion had not started yet.

Contact occurs before gather, no shot.

Try hadn't begun, in my opinion. "Before the shot."

There's contact at all?

Sure doesn't look like it.

First, a big thanks to jeschmit for finding and posting the clip.

The reason I was interested in this clip is due to the fact that recently in my observations provided to me by certified officials they have commented on how they think I am too liberal with my continuation rulings.

I just happened to be flipping through games and by luck caught this play. I believe I would have made the same ruling, but was interested to see what others thought.

I believe there was also a follow up replay of this which showed the angle from the endline and it brought up another issue which you can't see too well from the currently posted clip. The issue concerns a potential travel. I would be interested in hearing other thoughts on this. If a player travels on a continuation play then the goal could not count, is that correct? Of course, the player would then be entitled to two free throws, right?

Yes. Yes.

If there was contact, and I do mean IF, the contact was while White-3 was still dribbling. And if there was contact, and I do mean IF, I have a charge by White-3 against Blue-12.

P.S. I do not wish it denigrate our members who are currently officiating women's college basketball, but please do not bring the LDB in to the discussion of this play, because I am getting ready to leave for a game and I currently do not have time to prove the ignorance of the people on the NCAA-W Rules Committee of the history and reasoning behind the definition of Guarding, who are trying to hoist a piece of horse manure upon the game of basketball.

Huh. Haven't been on much this season, but is this a thing that's come up a lot around here lately? Because, for the record, it came about before this season for NCAA-W, and originated in and was drawn from the NBA.

Don't worry about it. Sometimes MTD has a hard time refraining from editorializing while giving history lessons.

History shouldn't be repeated if it's an outdated rule.
