After a scary moment in Ole Miss women's basketball's SEC Tournament semifinal game against LSU, Rebels coach Yolett McPhee-McCuin is ready to see some change.

Trying to take a charge against Ole Miss forward Madison Scott, LSU guard Last-Tear Poa's head bounced forcefully off the floor inside Bon Secours Wellness Arena in Greenville, South Carolina.

Poa left the game on a stretcher and went to St. Francis Hospital for further evaluation. LSU coach Kim Mulkey said postgame that Poa had movement in her extremities and that a CT scan came back clean.

"I do think something has to be done with this whole block/charge thing," McPhee-McCuin said postgame. "It was unfortunate to see Last-Tear go down. I mean, it needs to be a rule, and then people won't slide under people."

The NCAA altered its charge rule for the women's game this offseason slightly, reducing the restricted area ‒ where players can't take charges ‒ from 4 feet in the lane to directly under the basket. The NCAA Rules Oversight Panel hoped this change would simplify the rule for all parties, it said in a release this summer.

The men's game, however, underwent a more prominent change. Players are now required to be in position to draw a charge when the offensive player plants a foot to go airborne for a shot. Previously, they only had to be in position before the shooter was in the air.

"I've seen it happen twice," McPhee-McCuin said. "And, if we're trying to protect players, then why don't we make the rule? Because that was dangerous. And she was trying to make a play, because right now the rule says, no matter where you are on the floor, attempt to get up under someone and take the charge. And she had to go out on a stretcher. So something has to be done with that rule. That simple. If we're trying to protect players, let's protect players."

McPhee-McCuin said she didn't blame the officials for the incident, believing only the rules they're required to enforce are faulty.

LSU went on to win, 75-67, and book a place in the SEC Tournament final against South Carolina on Sunday (2 p.m. CT, ESPN).
