Nothing. He loses control of the ball before touching the floor with anything other than a hand or foot.

I agree. It's a legal play. No violation.

Then there's the entertaining fan boys on the front row doing their best basketball referee impressions while begging for a traveling call. Oh, th e travesty!!!

I'm not saying this isn't a great call by the lead, but for the purpose of discussion...

Why not pass on this GT and let the trail possibly pick it up? Trail probably has a great angle on the block and maybe the ball started heading right 2-3 feet away from the rim with no chance at a make.

Just a thought, either way I think it's a good get.

Trail is nowhere in the picture. The Lead waited for the Center's whistle, which never came, so the Lead made the call late as he should.

The play was in transition. The play is not exclusively for the T or C in transition. They often talk about the Lead calling a GT or BI if they are not settled in on the end line. Actually that has been the philosophy from the NBA who the calling official happened to be a former NBA official.

Also at issue is not just on its downward flight, but did the ball hit the backboard first. I think that is a question. Honestly, I would like an answer from the calling official what exactly was his reasoning for the call so that would tell if he felt the ball hit the backboard or not first. That is the part I was focused on mostly, but there is a case to be made this was going downward as well.

Peace

I thought the shot got tipped, then pinned against the backboard by the secondary defender, prior to the ball hitting the backboard.

The shot did get tipped, but that does not change the status of the shot.

I'm aware of that, but was the ball pinned before it started on downward flight. It's close.
