Great stuff, I highly recommend everyone...players, coaches, officials...read through this. Lots of good information, including play situations you might not know the answers to.

Good job. Very nice resource.

All players and coaches should check it out.

Although I must admit I don't understand if the final question/answer is correct (the one about the player leaving the field of play, illegal body check).

If the ball is on the other side of the field and he drills a guy standing in the sub area, there's no way you can make a case for it being a legal body check, since the guy being hit neither has the ball nor is within 5 yards of a loose ball. Obviously, you'd have to judge it as a body check and not just a bump or incidental contact, but I tried to write it to make it clear it was a check and not just a bump.

If the ball were within 5 yards of the sub area and he checked the guy waiting to come onto the field, the answer would be less clear, I think.

I don't have a problem with the Illegal Body Check call. But the part I was questioning was how a loose ball push (prior to the IBC) becomes a time serving foul & simultanous fouls.

time (see NCAA Rule 7-6-b-2-

6-3-b-2). A1 serves 1:00 to
3:00, and B1 serves 30 seconds
even though B1’s foul was
initially a loose-ball foul (4 pts).

Check out that A.R. 16 and all will be clear (I hope):

NCAA Rule 7 wrote:A.R. 16. During a loose ball, B1 pushes A1 from behind and a play-on is called. While
the ball is still live, A1 turns and slashes B1. RULING: These are simultaneous fouls.
Since Team A was entitled to possession, all players involved serve penalty time. B1
serves 30 seconds and A1 serves one minute, with the first 30 seconds of each penalty
being nonreleasable.
