IAABO Play of the Week 2015 - 6

[Multiple Sports]

Welcome to the world of IAABO.....
Can't wait for our esteemed IAABO guy Billy Mac to justify this.....

What I can't stand on these videos is why they don't worry about the trail with his "hero" travel call. The lead was calm and cool with his. But the trail wanted everyone in Harrisburg to know he was working that night......

Grasping the ring is not a violation, if one calls it, it's a technical foul, as is the coach being out of the box, so no additional violations were missed.

Maybe the "director", Mr. Webb, just wanted us to consider calling these fouls, and to eventually decide not to call these fouls?

Grasping at straws here guys.

Silly IAABO monkeys.

Cool graphics. Right?

"Let's Go To The Videotape" was my favorite part.

I'm surprised that this wasn't nominated for a Golden Globe Award.

IMHO, the red player was trying to avoid falling on the white player who managed to end up under him.. He managed to avoid hurting himself and the other player. That makes him a conscientious and caring lad who respects the game and his opponents. That's an easy sell if the anybody starts griping about grasping the rim.

The HC should be aware of where he is on the floor, but whacking him for stepping 10 inches outside his box is asking for trouble. I believe game management should take precedence over letter-of-the-law. If IAABO expects us to call each and every play by the book, freshmen girls' games would take three hours.

Also not an IAABO state (Ga) with limited membership. This is a weak video. The best thing we can take away is to not turn your back on the players.....

Oh, and the travel is Lead's call. Trail doesn't have primary on post traveling until we are in a frontcourt offense situation....in transition this is Lead's call. Trail should have a cadenced secondary whistle on the play if Lead misses it.

I agree. Wait and come if needed.

Webb needs to retire. His time has passed.
I only wish to add that instead of discussing grasping, which the action in the video clearly is not, the IAABO instruction could have elected to highlight the rule prohibiting dunking a dead ball. That too would be picky in this case, but at least could be justified by rule.
The coaching box rule is being broken, but one must consider the strictness of enforcement in the particular league/area/state. Call it how your governing authority desires.
