BryanV21 VaTerp wroteI agree completely with this. If a call was made it wouldnt have bothered me but I'm likely not putting a whistle on this play for the reasons mentioned above. And I guess Few has a legit beef if similar handchecks were called earlier in the game but to get that upset over a marginal no call seems odd to me. It really isnt that hard. The more plays you see the quicker your mind can process this things. When people talk about "seeing the whole play" they are talking about processing the types of things Rob alluded to above. It seemed like a lot, but upon re-reading the post it's not a lot of information to ponder before making a call /non-call. Like.... Did the defender exaggerate the contact on a possible charge? Did the ball handler try for a shot or pass when fouled? Sent from my SM-G925V using Tapatalk

Written out it seemed like more than it was but it was really just processing 2 things. And again, the more plays we see the better, and quicker, we are able to process this stuff.
Rich Eh, I think it's a foul, others don't. The guy standing there didn't. Few got whacked. I don't think it's as clear cut either way as some here are making it to be. Must mean it's time to unsubscribe to the thread, as it's boring me now. 🙂

It was certainly not the play where Few should have reacted the way he did. Any contact that was there didn't cause the player to throw that ball away like he did.

jeremy341a Rich wroteNot when the defender sticks his arm out. It appears to me the contact is shoulder to shoulder but if his hand does get in there I agree.

ballgame99 Whether this should be called a foul is obviously debatable, but whether this is a T hasn't been. I think its a great T and I would like to see more called at the college level. Maybe some of that would rub off on some of these HS coaches. But probably not.

But probably not.I don't think it's being debated because it's clearly and obviously a warranted T. You say you'd like to see it called more, but I doubt you can find an instance of a coach this out of control where it was not called.

I think the T is absolutely the correct call, but I will add this. I don't think this call was the only reason Few got T'ed up. It was a debatable call, but coaches generally don't get that worked up on just a single call or non-call. This was very likely the continuation of several discussions with the officials, or the fact Few saw his team losing its edge and needed to do something to motivate the team.
