Iowa @ Penn State - Shooting Foul (Video)

[Camron Rust]

I have a block with or without the RA.

The defender never got LGP. He got in the path and got two feet down, but didn't face the opponent....thus no LGP. And, the contact was on his side. The player didn't get to the spot first legally and displaced the shooter. Thus, it is a block.

I should have watched the slo motion replays instead of stopping after the real time one. It's a good call. It's a block in any circumstance.

An RA call is usually done when an official would normally have a PC foul. Point to the RA and call a block. At least that's my understanding of the mechanic.

You are correct, you only point to the RA if you would have called a player control foul if the defender was outside of the RA. However, it is common to refer to any play where the secondary defender establishes or tries to establish LGP in the arc as an RA play, because we know, with very few exceptions, that a player control foul cannot be called.

Defender is still straightening up / moving forward with the body when the offense leaves the ground.

I'm with Camron on this, I thought it was a block before I took the RA into account.
