NCAA's: Slow Play Penalty Assessed After Hour-Long Detention!
/Ryan Herrington reports on the slow play detention session for Cal's Max Homa, Alabama's Scott Strohmeyer and UCLA's Jonathan Gerrick that resulted in Gerrick being assessed a one-stroke penalty after an hour of discussion.
I'm all for slow play crackdowns, but an hour to give one player a shot penalty?
"You sit there and they actually grill you pretty good," said Alabama coach Jay Seawell about the interview process to determine whether a penalty is warranted. "You feel like you're in a Turkish prison."
"I don't know what a Turkish prison is like," Homa noted after his meeting. "But i felt like I was in detention. They had me sit out side and told me to wait with Strohmeyer. It wasn't fun. I wouldn't wish it on anybody."
