All Basketball Coaches should pass a course on rules...or have a Rules expert on the bench.....see Auburn game.

During a game, the head coach is very busy with many decisions.

The double dribble violation by a Virginia player bouncing the ball off his foot and continuing to dribble could have won last night's game for Auburn, if any of the Assistant Coaches knew the rules.

One question: If the Auburn coach immediately alerted the referees to the double dribble rule, can the Referees review the play and overturn the call, even if a foul call was made after the double dribble?

No i don’t believe they can

Dribbling off his foot/leg was not a double dribble. The double dribble violation (missed call by refs) was after he dribbled off his leg.........when he picked the ball up with two hands and then started dribbling again. Coaches and players know the rules.....but this situation was odd and happened quickly.

Not what is called a correctable error.
 
watching it live, I thought defender got a piece of it. that was what I assumed happened until post game when they showed it in slow mo. Before the postpgame replays, who many people were calling for double dribble?

I think this is what happened with the refs and coaches and announcers during the game. At full speed, it looked like the defender touched the ball, in which case it is not a double dribble.

So it was really a case of the refs seeing the play wrong, not a case of them not knowing a basic rule.

I like Tony Bennett and Virginia, so I'm not that bummed out:smiley:

Having said that, I think the Virginia dude wasn't even close to taking his shot when he was fouled right after the no-call double dribble. That shouldn't have sent the dude to the line for three free throws, in my opinion.

Uhhh... the Auburn player made contact while Guy was in the air completing his shooting motion. It was a clear shooting foul. You can argue whether or not the ref should've swallowed the whistle for that level of contact in the final second, but even Barkley admitted post-game it was a foul. They did not call a shooting foul on the play with the no-call double dribble. Maybe you missed a play?

That was a foul 1000%. Swallowing the whistle would’ve been a travesty. The missed double dribble was inexcusable. The Auburn player was not that close to the Virginia guy and the official was right there. For CBS to not mention it until well after the game was over and for Nantz to claim “they didn’t have time” to talk about it earlier was an absurd CYA moment. Very happy that Auburn and Pearl are our. Screw ‘em.
 
Not on this one. Who knows? If Auburn wins the timing is different and maybe MSU wins. That's why everything happens for a reason.
Check your sarcasm meter. Brain has been consistent in saying refs can affect the outcomes of games and therefore are fair game for complaints after a tough loss.

Yeah, just quoting Bac

Sorry you lost $500 in your pool
That sucks
 
Auburn fouled the UVA player to start the sequence. So much ado about nothing on double dribble. Many refs don’t make that call in any event as not in spirit of double dribble rule.
Furthermore Auburn was fouling away to run the clock and burn their fouls.

Simply a non issue. Nobody noticed it live.

I was.

He picked up his dribble then started dribbling again. That, and dribbling the ball with two hands, is the definition of double-dribble.

I've seen this question asked on at least a half-a-dozen message boards since that game ended. And it really has me scratching my head as to why.

Yeah, I must have missed something. I only saw it in passing and probably misunderstood which contact the whistle was for...

ETA: Sorry for my misinformed comments. Now I realize that I REALLY missed a play...

That's a foul.

That's also a foul but was not called despite an official looking right at it.

Wow, I definitely didn't see the flagrant jersey grab which had a huge effect on a bizarre play.

Actually, if I'm finally understanding this, it would have benefitted Auburn greatly had the jersey grab been called.

After Virginia's last two games I'm more convinced than ever that Tony Bennett is an incredible coach. They were all but beaten in both, but kept their heads and made the right plays...

i thought that second one on the double dribble could have been a foul too the auburn player was trying to foul anyway...

i hate refs more than anyone. i have been complaining about refs all year and no one wants to listen. now Dickie V wants a blanket rule that every thing should be review under a minutes. bonkers.
 
I think the jersey grab is right before the double dribble no call. The refs did call a foul on Auburn after the no-call double dribble.

The foul on the shot attempt in the other photo is from the next play, after UVA inbounded the ball again with 1.5 seconds left.

Me. I saw it right away.

So are you are saying for a double dribble to be called by a ref, it had to had to not only happen, but it had to be in the spirit of the rule AND it had to be an issue? Wow. That’s a lot of thinking.

OR, maybe the referee just calls a double dribble when someone double dribbles.

And numerous people saw it live.

I saw it too. It was a simple call to make, IMO.

No it wasn't I said the second it happened that was a double dribble so they can make any excuse they want for the ref or whomever including the announcers but that was a blatant double dribble

But the jersey grab of Jerome should have been called a foul and negated the need for a double dribble call.

Dribbling the ball off your leg is not a double dribble. It was the act of picking the ball up with both hands, which ended his dribble, then dribbling again. That was the double-dribble.
