The issue is not how much contact as contact can be severe and never be a foul, the issue is how did the contact take place or is the play an acceptable amount on a blocked shot. I watch a lot of ACC games and I see nothing different here than I would in those games. The reality is that many officials that work in the BIG, work in the ACC (especially now). Not saying anything about the quality of the officials, just stating that I see nothing highlighted in weekly videos that this should be a foul and there are many similar plays like this every week. Now if you can find me a play where that shows this as a foul, I will post it for the very same reason I did here. Because if a foul was called, you would have heard the same reaction from the Purdue side of the gym.

Thanks. Glad you like them and can use them. That after all is the point.

Well I post the videos for these discussions. That is what I love about them as it brings a lot of different point of views to the table. Not all of us are right or wrong, we just are sharing our judgment process. At the end of the day someone else will decide what we should do or not do.
