Sliding on the floor -- NCAA-M - The Official Forum

I sat behind the table of an NCAA (D-III) men's game at the university where I teach. I only know the NFHS rule book, so this exchange confused me a

Cole has had more rebounds taken away from him than any player that I can remember either.

We just aren’t athletic. We’re the team that all the athletic teams that are good can’t wait to punk…..the way we used to look at ND and WVU in the Big East days.

Yes this was 100% a travel. Everyone agrees except for one poster on here

I thought the same thing when it happened.
But the rule is it is not a travel if the slide is the momentum from the original dive.
Had he rolled over it might have been called.
But apparently it was considered the original momentum - even though the guy seemed to slide about ten feet.
(Perhaps demonstrating the energy with which opponents go for these balls in contrast to the typical Orange effort).

Wow that’s some debate. I guess it’s not just this Board that likes to argue.

Whatever the rule, wish we got the break on the call. Just want some luck here and there!

I looked at the official rule book. Not sure i saw this explanation for the traveling rule but itd make sense it was explained somewhere. That should be a travel in my opinion.

For years it was the complaint of Maryland that ACC tourney was always on tobacco road. South Carolina had the same complaint. It maybe why Maryland and South Carolina left the conference.

Oh it certainly is.

whenever cole is involved in a loose ball situation, or fighting guys for a rebound under the basket, or theres a scramble on the floor, cole NEVER comes away with the ball! its incredible! ive been paying close attention to it the last few games cuz it was something i noticed early in the year. i laugh every time it happens. it always ends with him clapping his hands in disgust after he comes away empty handed, or the ball goes out of bounds off him. you know how some players just have a knack for being in the right place at the right time? cole is the bizarro version of that player.

Lack of athleticism.

Great stroke especially for a guy his size but hes crazy streaky. Hes a guy you want starting but if hes off he end up playing 15 minutes.

If we lose Buddy Cole and Joe are good from deep you could really change the makeup of the team but not lose that much from 3 if they come back.

Wish this team had Quincy on it things would be a lot different and QG would have gotten his wish and had a more perimeter role he'd have been the 3 on offense.

In addition to the lack of athleticism on the roster we also lack toughness. We just don't have anyone that seems to want to get ugly when necessary.
