Fox plans to find 'solution' to game-clock rule that affected Georgia in loss to Texas A&M

When the NCAA Men's Basketball Rules Committee meets this offseason, Georgia head coach Mark Fox will ask for a rule that affected his team in the closing seconds of a game to be changed.

At the end of Saturday's 63-62 loss to Texas A&M, Georgia had the ball on the game's final possession with the game clock stopping at 5.6 seconds. The officiating crew of Mike Nance, James Breeding and Tim Gattis did not notice this and the possession played out, ending with the Aggies fouling Georgia forward Yante Maten underneath.

But after the officials noticed the clock stoppage, they reviewed the game tape and used a stop-watch to determine when Maten was fouled.
