Video request VCU vs SFA (Video)

JMF, could you post the last several seconds at end of regulation where SFA gets fouled on 3 pointer. Looks like shooter was collapsing to floor without benefit of any defensive contact.

Here's the play.

I don't see much contact, if any, there.

Left arm of defender into right arm of shooter, with the possibility of a little (I said a little) body to body contact, that results in the shooter falling to the floor? In my high school game, I've got a foul here, that I've got to make from the lead in my Connecticut two person game. (Note: I picked Virginia Commonwealth.)

I don't see any contact with the arms and little, if any, body contact with the angle of the camera view here.

With the where the T was located, he didn't see any of that. He saw the shooter falling with the defender jumping into him. I'd likely call a foul too.

Wow. We certainly have chosen a very difficult avocation. Two competent officials (I'm assuming you're competent), looking at a play that we can rewind over, and over, again, in real time, and in slow motion, and we can't come up with the same call. In a real game we have to make this judgment almost instantly. No wonder we get paid big bucks to do this. I'm also surprised that we get paid big bucks to do this (coming up with two very different calls on the same play).
