I can't tell if there was or was not contact in this video. But this type a foul, where the defender hits the shooter in the stomach (or even the "reserved parking space" and MTD, Jr., and his brother call it) is always, at the least, a IPF in NFHS and NCAA and an Unsportsmanlike Foul in FIBA.
Years ago (late 90's, that is 1990's Billy,
) I was the T in a AAU Boys' 12U National pool play game in Cocoa Beach. W-1 takes a jump shot from just beyond the Arc and B-1 comes out and hits him with an upper cut in the "reserved parking space". The shot did not go in, A-1 shot three shots and B-1 was done for the rest of the game. Even I had the "feeling" (
) in the pit of my stomach when I saw the foul.
