Chris Holtmann Says Three-Second Rule “Needs to Be Evaluated” After Matchup With Zach Edey and Purdue: “It’s Not a Rule That is Enforced”
Chris Holtmann thinks the three-second rule "needs to be evaluated" after Ohio State's matchup with Zach Edey and Purdue: "It’s not a rule that is enforced."

“They have an advantage because of his size and mass and weight, and they say – it’s like teams that foul you for 40 minutes and they say, ‘They can’t call them all.’ Coaches will tell you that,” Holtmann said. “They can’t call all the fouls. Well, what they’re saying is, ‘Hey, they’re not gonna call it more than once at the most, so why wouldn’t we just park him there?’ It’s smart on their part. And what we’ve got to do is be able to adjust better, and that’s what we’re trying to do.”
Holtmann admitted that Edey “probably gets fouled on occasion and it’s not called,” and also credited the dominant big man as a “really good” player. Still, Holtmann said it’s clear that Purdue knows it can take advantage of the lack of three seconds calls from the officiating crew.
