SMH... Just saw that SMU "goaltend" vs UCLA

[delta]

@ UCLA getting into the tourney over deserving Mid-Majors and needing a miracle call to get through SMU

 

[GzUp]

looks like it was gonna be hitting rim

 

[El Bombi]

Yeah it's the right call.

Even tho he was going to miss the shot. It look as if the ball was going to hit the rim and you have to let the ball hit the rim before touching it.

 

[USSInsiders]

That's some dumb shyt Desagna Diop would've done in 2k9. Retarded ass centers leaping up and grabbing airbals over the rim

 

[Higher Tech]

Looked like a good call to me. I don't understand the outrage.

 

[Trojan 24]

I mean that was a fukking brick, but you gotta let it hit rim. What was the game situation?

 

[Padron1926]

nba it would be goaltending, ncaa nope

rules are written differently. Whether or not it was going to hit the rim is irrelevant, in the ncaa rules, but instead whether it had the chance to go is what matters, which leads to some judgment by the ref. In this case i feel he judged wrong.

 

[MustafaSTL]

That ball had no reasonable way of going in, which is the NCAA rule for goaltending. Bad call, SMU got fukked, but dude shouldn't grab the ball like that so close to the basket letting the ref make a fukked up call.

Naw, rules are the same breh.

Same thing happen to Shaq Goodwin in a Memphis game earlier this year.

[King Poetic]

the goal tend didn't cost them.. they couldn't finish down the stretch.. they was up 53 to 44 with 4 minutes to go and got outscored 16 to 6 after that..

 

[luckyse7enz]

Good call.
Absolutely horrible way to lose a tourney game.

 

[IWasntMadeToPlayTheSon]

 

[SHAQAVELLI]

Good call.

The self-righteous types on Twitter who lost their shyt, metaphorically SCREAMING in series of tweets saying it was a bad call

Rule maybe could be in need of a chamge, but damnit, it was the right call!!!

Nope you do not know what your talking about

NCAA
Goaltending.
a.
Goaltending occurs when a defensive player touches the ball during a field-
goal
try and each of the following conditions is met: (Exceptions: Rule
10-4.1.i)
1.The ball is on its downward flight; and
2.The ball is above the level of the ring and has the possibility, while in
flight, of entering the basket and is not touching the cylinder.
b.It is goaltending to touch the ball outside the cylinder during a free throw,
regardless of whether the free throw is on its upward or downward flight.
c.When the ball contacts the backboard and any part of the ball is above the
rim during a field goal attempt, it is considered to be on its downward flight.
In such a case, it is goaltending when the ball is touched by a player as
long as it has a possibility of entering the basket.


NBA
Rule No 11

Section 1a

a. Touch the ball or the basket ring when the ball is using the basket ring as its lower base.
EXCEPTION: If a player near his own basket has his hand legally in contact with the ball, it is not a violation if his contact with the ball continues after the ball enters the cylinder, or if, in such action, he touches the basket.
b. Touch the ball when it is above the basket ring and within the imaginary cylinder.
c. For goaltending to occur, the ball, in the judgment of the official, must have a chance to score.
d. During a field goal attempt, touch a ball after it has touched any part of the backboard above ring level, whether the ball is considered on its upward or downward flight.
e. During a field goal attempt, touch a ball after it has touched the backboard below the ring level and while the ball is on its upward flight.
f. Trap the ball against the face of the backboard. (To be a trapped ball, three elements must exist simultaneously. The hand, the ball and the backboard must all occur at the same time. A batted ball against the backboard is not a trapped ball.)
g. Touch any live ball from within the playing area that is on its downward flight with an opportunity to touch the basket ring. This is considered to be a "field goal attempt" or trying for a goal.
h. Touch the ball at any time with a hand which is through the basket ring.
i. Vibrate the rim or backboard so as to cause the ball to make an unnatural
