Basketball PREVIEW/LIVE THREAD: Rutgers Basketball versus Iowa Part II

Whistle goes to the blue bloods
That tech is brutal
The reversal at 5 minutes of first half unbelievable
WTF
 
It’s not news but should be clear to everyone who didn’t already realize, that the first game against Iowa and their shooting performance was unbelievable outlier.
 
That's actually completely wrong.
If extends out an elbow length - shooting the ball.

The understanding of the cylinder rule is a little shocking for such a usuaally well informed board.

“The cylinder is an area for the offensive player to start a basketball play, which is start a shot, a dribble or a pass. It’s defined as the hip area, the rear area, and the space in front of the offensive player when his elbows are bent and he’s holding the ball in front of him,” Cahill said.


Cahill said that interpretation will be interesting when a defender is clipped, perhaps in the face, and the foul is called on that defender for invading the offensive player’s cylinder.

“The whole purpose of it is to create more movement by the offensive players. I think early on in the season, we may see more fouls called. But I think players, coaches and officials will all adjust and it will get into a flow as the season progresses,” Cahill said.
He wasn't shooting the ball. And he wasn't holding the ball out in front of him. It was over his head and harpers face isn't in his space.
