Shooting Foul/PC/Nothing?

The defender was called for the foul. Watching it live I thought it was the right call. With benefit of replay and slow motion I can see why fans of the defender's team might disagree.

I agree with this. From the angle here, in slow motion, it did appear that the defender was jumping pretty much vertically, but a view from the endline might show something different.

PC or nothing on this for me. I'd lean towards nothing mainly because the defender wasn't (edit) displaced.

If taking a shoulder to the ribcage isn't disadvantaged, then I'm not sure what is.

That's not a disadvantage unless it prevents him from performing normal defensive actions. I'll agree disadvantage here is minimal. However, displacement seems sufficient here.

I'd probably call the PC and wouldn't give a rat's rump about the grief I took. It's possible I'd no-call it, too. It's really hard to say.

I'm confused.

Sorry. I mean't wasn't. I changed my original post.

No call.

Same type of thing we see on desperation heaves at the end of quarters/games where the coaches scream for a foul despite the legal defender and the shooter initiating contact.

Why do you say that the defender was not completely legal? Didn't he establish LGP, then go straight up vertically? In your view of the play, did he do something to lose that position?

Because I do not see the defender as being completely vertical. The defender seems to jump towards the shooter, but never would have contacted the shooter without the actions of the shooter throwing his body into the defender. If you are not vertical or you are jumping towards your opponent, then you are no longer in a legal position.

Thanks for clarifying, Jeff.

Player control if there is a whistle...

I would most likely have nothing here

It's a miserable thing because the right call (no call) is gonna get you screamed at more than making the wrong call (defensive foul).
