Ten second runoff?
Situation happened in an NCAA game yesterday that I was observing.
12 seconds left in the 4th quarter. Team A's ball at the B-15ish, 3rd and 9. Team A has no timeouts remaining. A's pass is complete, and A86 is tackled in bounds at the B-3 with 0.5 seconds left. Clock stops to reset the down box. Before R blows the RFP, A snaps the ball, causing a delay-of-game foul on A. Should there be a ten-second runoff in this situation? According to the spirit and intent of the rules, I say "yes"... Team A has gained an advantage by fouling (giving themselves more time to set up for a final shot at the end zone). However, as the rule is currently written, I say "no": Quote:
This foul did not cause the clock to stop... the clock was not running when the foul occurred. Thus, a 10-second runoff is not possible. None of the Approved Rulings address this situation. Thoughts? |
