BYU @ Gonzaga: Held Ball or Foul (Video)
2/28/14. ESPN2.
At 11:35 in the first half, a Gonzaga player goes to the deck to gather a loose ball in his front court. He looks to have possession when a BYU player comes in from behind and "piles on." T has a good look, properly closes down on the play, but then (IMO) bails out the BYU player by opting for a held ball.
The fans in Spokane have a very high basketball IQ, and they were not pleased. I can't say I blame them, but I'd like to hear what others have to say on this one. Cheers!
UPDATE: Very similar play at 4:29 in the first, but this time the foul was called on BYU. My question is, how was it any different?
