I am not sure I understand what you wrote, but here goes...
I would either no call or have a block on a player under the basket. A player could draw a PC 10 feet away from the basket. So I guess I agree with crew. I don't think I understand the last question. A player not in position will not get a PC call--that is my whole premise.
I hope I answered your question. [/B][/QUOTE]No,you didn't really.If you re-read the threads,crew stated that a defensive player not in position would get a PC call in his favor if it happened in the paint up top.He then stated that the same player who is not in position,but has moved under the hoop,would now get called for a block.Note that it is the exact same play,but in a different location!My problem with this situation has got absolutely nothing to do with any FED/NCAA,dark side/light side,advantage/disadvantage philosophies.My problem is that you guys are saying that you would not call the same play CONSISTENTLY,dependant on where a player stands.If it's a PC one place,it should be a PC every place.Similarly,if it's a block one place,it should be a block everywhere.The only judgement should be whether you are going to no-call it or not.If you call it a block instead of a PC in similar situations,the players and coaches don't have a clue what to do out there.I just seem to get this picture in my mind of this happening to the newest red-neck Texas coach:-expletives deleted:
Bobby: "Ref,you just called a charge on my player at the other end.Now I get the exact same play in front of me and you call my player for a block.Wassup wit dat?"
Ref:Your player wasn't standing in the right spot at this end!A coach of your experience should know that."
Yup,I'd love to see that one.
