I have a block here. It looks to me like the defender isn't quite facing the ball handler until he's airborne. He's ever so slightly turned before them. Take a look at his feet in relation to where the WV player is coming from

What did the defense do wrong? |

It may be the player-turned-coach-turned official, in me; but on a two on one play, where the ball-handler dribbles 45 plus feet of court and doesn't pass ahead to his open teammate... I'll always reward the defense, on a close play. Any good coach would tell his player: Pass the frigging ball! Last edited by Refhoop; Wed Jan 20, 2016 at 01:54pm. |

It also needs to be noted that the defender had his arms out-stretched, not vertical. Some of that contact occurs with the left arm.

That's what I saw the first few times I watched it - it looked like the main contact may have been on the outstretched arm...but it's hard to tell from the angle of the video.

Seems fairly incidental considering that the bulk of the contact is against the defender's shoulder.

It looks like A1 used his left hand to help elevate himself beyond B1.
Btw, I have a block here since the defender did not have LGP until after A1 is already in his habitual shooting motion and first contact is initiated by B1. A1's left hand comes into play after these two factors. Last edited by #olderthanilook; Wed Jan 20, 2016 at 04:00pm. |

I did notice that also.
