Iowa @ Penn State - Shooting Foul (Video)

[bballref3966]

Defender was legal before the shooter left the floor and did not violate verticality.

Not a foul, IMO.

Eh, it's a tie. That goes to the offense. Ideally a no call would be better but I'm guessing that was a body took a weird spill and ate it call, so in the grand scheme of things not awful.

I don't understand the rules of the arc, but is this a secondary defender?

Yes this is a secondary defender. The arc rule applies in block charges.

Not sure about college rules, but does A1 get his head and shoulders past the torso of the B1 in this play?

4-7-2b. If a guard has obtained a legal guarding position, the player with the ball must get his/her head and shoulders past the torso of the defensive player. If contact occurs on the torso of the defensive player, the dribbler is responsible for the contact.

Yes this could apply, but I am wondering if this should have even been called?

Peace

Watching on the small screen on my phone I have a RA block.

You cannot have an RA block here. The RA is used in block/charge plays only and a secondary defender attempting to gain LGP, this wasn't that.

A defender can still go for a block shot and ALL contact in the RA IS NOT an automatic block.

I'm with you. I happened to see it live and didn't think it was a foul. I still don't, though it would be an RA block if it was. The play looked ugly and awkward but that doesn't = illegal.
