Is there such a thing as delay of game in NCAA basketball? I seem to remember somewhere along the way that you could not touch the ball after it went through your basket in an effort to slow the inbounding of the ball for the other team. I see it done so much, seemed like Vanderbilt grabbed it and rolled it under the basket every single make and there is no basket support there.

Just wondering, I'm guessing it isn't anything because it happens so often.

It appears that this IS a penalty in the NBA, but maybe not the NCAA.

Thanks for your help referees.

It is they just are to stupid to call it.

Technically I think yes, but it would only be called if the refs determined it was intentional and interferes with the game, simply touching or grabbing the ball probably would never be called unless it was so obviously done to gain an advantage.
 
I think it is a rule but most of the time it's likely incidental that the guy under the basket grabs the ball. I don't know which games, but I seem to recall seeing it called in a few games (maybe they werent ISU games) the last couple of years if a guy didn't pass it to the inbounder or official.
 
Its like traveling in 3rd and 4th grade girls games. You could call it about every time, but it would make the game sooooooooooooooooo, much longer And it doesnt really affect anything.
 
Tonight they were killing the ball on the floor. If you knock it in the general vicinity of the ref or inbounder, I can see that. But teams have been killing the ball against us for years because we have liked to run. I just don't understand why they don't enforce that.

Most all of the time you don't just accidently touch the ball as it comes through the net unless you are directly under the basket. I was usually running back on D, not looking to touch the basketball.

It seems an easy thing to call.

Thanks for the confirmation. But, unfortunately now I have to be irate more often.
 
It was a point of emphasis a couple years ago but they've since ditched the strict enforcement because of the unintended consequences (whistling someone doing something completely harmless).
 
How about the ball being STUCK on the rim. And instead of calling alternate possession they call shot clock violation?

The shot was taken before the clock, hit the rim, my rule book says it should reset for whichever team gets the rebound. It just so happened to get stuck, so then I'd say it goes to the possession arrow. Maybe Blum has a ruling.

The announcers thought shot clock but they did change possession.

I don't know NCAA rules intimately but National Federation of HS rules state "Delay the game by preventing the ball from being made promptly live or from being put in play." It is a judgement whether the tap was made to assist the official or opposing team to get the ball and put in play or to hinder. Obvious attempts to hinder should and will be called. First a warning, each subsequent event, a technical foul. I thought KSU should have received a warning as their touches were not egregious but were multiple and consistent throughout the game.

Oftentimes they will warn the players before calling it. It's against the rules but rarely called.
 
It seems like the refs will give a warning before they will call a violation. Until you get the warning, I don't think you have to worry about getting a violation called unless it is totally flagrant.
 
I thought intentionally delaying the game was a non-contact technical foul after a warning for the first violation.
