NCAA-W: Ohio State vs North Carolina End of Game Bench Players (Video)

[SCalScoreKeeper]

Can someone pull the end of the Ohio State/NC game? Carolina player hits bucket with 0.6 on clock.Players on the floor from Carolina celebrating the ball is inbounded and Ohio State throws up a half court shot and misses.Game over.

I was flipping channels and on Sportscenter (or something) saw the analysis of the end of a women's game, NC and somebody, I think. NC hit a shot with
.6 on the clock. The other team had a timeout but didn't use it, simply inbounded and heaved, and it was over. Trouble is, meanwhile between the made shot and the inbound, apparently several NC team members ran onto the court from the bench. Question was asked "Why wasn't it a technical?" Kara Lawson (right?) answered matter-of-factly that it was not a technical since the continuous flow of the game was not interrupted. If one of the bench personnel had run into an opponent or something, technical, but, no harm, no foul.

????

Does ANY rule set have this stipulation?

Bench personnel may do cartwheels on the division line during a live ball so long as the "continuous flow of the game" is not interrupted.

I think the NCAA has essentially stated as much in this situation.

Didn't see it, but the description by jar in post 2 is at least approximately correct for NCAAW.

It's ridiculous and I'm not a fan of either side-they brought the ball in after the make with players on the floor for UNC.how is that allowed? hopefully the site evaluator won't advance that crew to the next rd.

I think the leash should be LONGER at the varsity HS level. Give them the same 28 feet college coaches get, for all I care.
