I"m not a basketball guy so I know what I don't know. I assume the basketball officials are right unless someone knowledgeable tells me otherwise.
One thought I had when I saw this was the contact from the player with the ball was not directly on the defender. It was more at an angle so I wondered if that was a factor in the block call. No one has mentioned it here, so I wasn't sure if that was part of the consideration.
I'm glad to see for the most part these calls are supportable. The failure to re-establish and shot clock are both undersstandable but unfortunate if they are wrong. There has to be an interesting explanation on the potential flagrant foul because everything I've heard from educated officials is it should have been at least a flagrant 1.
