That dude needs to stop...drives me totally mad.
 
You have to play extra-hard when you start every play on your back.

In fact, that gives me an idea for a nickname...
 
They just showed a highlight of the OSU/Texas game and a player shot the ball from such an angle that it went over the back of the backboard. Did that shot count? I thought that was a violation.

If the ball touches the top or sides, it's still in play. If it touches any part of the back OR it goes over the backboard, it's a violation because the ball is considered out of bounds at that point.

I'm not absolutely certain of that, but that's how I remember the rule. In other words, you're right, it should have been a violation.
 
Maddening. Kabongo is just as bad. Pierre Jackson is an Oscar candidate as well. Doesn't mean they don't play hard or don't win, but they DO flop. CP3/James Harden's influence on today's younger players. Hell it happens in my men's league too.

Totally agree. Just because he is good and plays hard doesn't mean I have to like him as a player.
 
I didn't get to watch buy maybe half of this game but I do have to say that I saw about 3 calls that the refs just assumed a charge - and 2 of the charges were flops by Smart and can't remember the other guy. The NCAA needs to really work with their refs on this during the off season and if they see flops start calling technicals on some guys - I think this would get the word out that it is not worth flopping and it would stop.
 
Every time we touched Kabongo he threw his head back so hard I'm surprised he didn't get whiplash. And somehow the refs fall for it. The guy should have been a soccer player.

The shot never touched the backboard

Non "bedlam" so I hope the resident aggies can deal with it, and not exactly related to flopping, but my all-time favorite was Byron Eaton's near death moment in like every game. Small contact, dude would lay on the court for 10 minutes...reminded me of Hulk Hogan when I was a kid. Honestly, it was pretty funny.

Well that's... Not the rule.
I am surprises how many people seem to have not known this rule. I thought it was fairly common knowledge.

So it should have just been a shooting foul? He was fouled in the act of shooting.
