Ok. We have gone rounds on this. And probably will for much time to come.
I had a tournament game earlier this week. Already had one player control foul on white. Now same white player (A1) is driving to the hoop, red player (B1) has both feet touching the court and is facing A1. He moves laterally and there is big impact on the play. I call player control foul. By the book, this is right. I am 95% certain the call was right and would like to see the tape on the play. Although, I know that the coach is going to go crazy. Second player control on the same player. All he sees, and everyone as well is that B1 was not set. I think that this call is made a block more often that PC. If I had called block, it's likely nothing would have been said.
I can't punish the defender that had legal gaurding position and got to the spot on the floor first. However, I know that sometimes its easier to call what everyone is expecting.
any thoughts...
