@USATODAY The Duke announcer was wrong. You could’ve at least acknowledged that part. Or just not said anything about what the Duke announcer said. Either way, doing neither makes it seem like you didn’t even watch the game and/or vet this story
@USATODAY “Duke's radio play-by-play announcer also noticed UConn guard Malachi Smith allegedly running off the bench onto the court after Mullins's shot.”
Malachi Smith (0) was an active player on the court during the game-winning shot…
@coachgkap@JustinMacmahan I can assure you we’ll see some sort of modification, interpretation, or revision before next season. Have heard it’s top priority for O’Malley
@coachgkap@JustinMacmahan I don’t disagree with that. Problem is, the optics and when/why time was stopped. I’m basically saying referees and the NCAA are realizing they need a clearer rule interpretation with a brighter line rule for this
@coachgkap@JustinMacmahan Exactly. Problem is, there’s a very fuzzy understanding of when “impedes with putting the ball in play” should be applied, especially when the referees whistle to stop and fix the clock
@davidmneedham@JustinMacmahan After the one free throw, play would resume at the point of interruption. So ball would go to the team that had, or was entitled to, possession at the point of interruption
@RaySharradh@JustinMacmahan This would be an administrative or Class B technical foul, not a Class A. By rule, administrative and Class B technicals are one shot
@walkeri141 NCAA changed the rule about goaltending. It’s not reviewable unless it’s challenged (except for in the last 2 minutes). So they essentially took that mindset out of the college game—now referees need to call it without assuming it can be reviewed
