Eastern Washington v Georgetown (Video)

[OKREF]

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.

I'd like to see it again but looking at it live it certainly looked intentional.

I saw the replay several times. For NFHS at least it would be a technical and some refs would have ejected him. I was just totally miffed by the no-call. Reggie Miller was against an ejection but even he thought something should be called.


btw off-topic, but the number of ads is killing. I'm kind of skipping a lot of the games. I also think there is some conspiracy that despite there being 3 games going on at once, they all seem to go to break at the same time....
There has to be 20-30 minutes more ads than there used to be.

First, I like for the Trail to keep his eyes on the players while giving his traveling signal.

That said, I have nothing on this play except a bunch of clumsiness.
