PROFILE

This is Brian Dohn's fifth season covering UCLA after spending 4 1/2 years covering the Dodgers for the Daily News and other Los Angeles Newspaper Group papers. He graduated from Rutgers, where the first college football game was played in 1869. Sure, the Scarlet Knights suffered for a long time, but now RU is doing what Jerseyans always thought was possible. Winning at Rutgers also proves winning is possible everywhere else in the nation, so underachieving coaches better be careful. Now, if only men's hoops can turn it around.

The rule on a ball over backboard

UCLA's Josh Shipp made the game-winning shot against Cal but the ball went over the backboard. Should it have counted?
Here's the NCAA rule...
Rule 7 Section 1, Article 3...
The ball shall be out of bounds when it passes over the backboard from any direction.

Form my coaching days, I told my wife that should not count as we watched the game, and waited for the basket to be waved off. I know the rule for high school but was not sure for college. Was he behind or to the side when he shot the ball?????

Now that I look back in retrospect and see that was what the officials where reviewing near the end of regulation. They felt it was good. GREAT, GREAT GAME...I can not live through to many more of this hang on to your butt games, TO OLD.
