The slow-walking directly into and through the line of fire after the horn is the cherry on top. The younger official still has his whistle in his mouth in the circle as the postgame confrontations...

^^^

The injury is not relevant. This is a foul all day long, in all situations. He upended the player who was already standing there.

The range I’m aware of is $30-$37.50. And yes, the league that pays $30 has a harder time finding willing bodies.

Nope. It was straight and high enough, and it hit the jumpers before it hit the floor. Good enough for me. The fact the players made it look awful is not relevant. You throw it any higher than 8 feet...

Creighton-Gonzaga backcourt play

4:10 left in first half. Gonzaga defender tips ball off Creighton foot and into the backcourt. Creighton recovers, official gives tip signal, play on.

That was my thought process as well. If the space is only 36" deep, I'd say her foot has passed that standard -- and that's how I voted.

Illinois-Mizzou flagrant foul

45 seconds left. Flagrant 1 called on Illinois. I don't know NCAA rules, but in HS, this would be nothing, at least in my game.

If JRut could clip it and the NCAAM guys could weigh in, I'd be...

This is nothing. Ball is outside the cylinder, so no BI. Clock starts on B1’s legal touch and the game is over. Run off the court ... even in Massachusetts!

No, an official will not do this. Just a trained shot-clock operator, as in a college game.

NFHS rule set.

The phrase "some allowance must be made for the touch, likely tenths of a second ..." is burned in my mind, but I can't find it anywhere.
