1. Not sure why the ball was put on the end line. Contact if any took place clearly outside the arc.
2. The contact was what has been called, "absolute." Not only did Craft (OSU player) put his arms on the dribbler but then makes the ball handler lose the ball. I have a foul there.
3. This was really close, but it follows the rule for a held ball. He prevents the shooter from shooting the ball and the shooter comes down to the floor with the ball. I think that is a good call per NCAA rules which requires the shooter to come back to the floor. In HS I would have this a held ball long before because the shooter never lost control of the ball at the top.
Peace
