Eastern Washington v Georgetown (Video)

[SCalScoreKeeper]

Can someone please pull the smack across the face of an Eastern Washington player from Georgetown at approximately 4:50 in the 1st half?

Can't believe it wasn't at least a FF1. However the ball was dead so that may have something to do with it. Not a NCAA rules guy.

are you talking about the incident after the travel?

That was shocking. What were the refs thinking? We were debating whether or not that could be an ejection, and they don't call anything. I'm totally confused. They can replay that. I'm sorry. But if they could look at the replay and didn't call anything, then they should not be doing another game in the tournament.
Would it be a flagrant technical?

Yes I am mutantducky-I am shocked too that 3 NCAA tournament caliber officials decided not to call that at least a flagrant 1.Is there any rules justification for a flagrant 2 here?

What's the rule on dead ball contact in NCAA? I sure thought it was an intentional swing.

From my seats this appeared to be the case:

The Georgetown player was excited after the travel and made a celebratory gesture which happened to make contact with the opponent as he got up. It was completely unintentional and the two covering officials understood that.

They informed the EWU coach of what they saw BEFORE going to the monitor and made no call after the review.

I can see that. Looks like he was going to hit his own chest. Really close though.

Hopefully this is the case. If not, that's a really bad miss. A lesson on dead-ball officiating, regardless. My first thought was it should have been a contact dead ball technical.

It has never made sense to me why some officials call traveling and then turn away, walking down the court while they are signaling.
