Butler @ Georgetown Plays (Video)

[crosscountry55]

1. Good defense, hard to see for sure, but probably a CC. HTBT, T had a better look than any of us did on the video.

2. Arm extended and displaced, CC. Unusual that deep in the backcourt, though, and so T punched the wrong way. I'd be lying if I said I've never done that.

3. Not vertical, CC. Wonder if he gave the Frankenstein signal when he reported?

Good stuff, thanks for posting!

4. Looked like the defender got LGP, so he did nothing wrong, therefore it's not a blocking foul. I suppose you could have a PC foul, as the dribbler did make slight contact with the defender's torso, but I probably would have called it the way this guy did.

5. While the foul that was called is fine with me (at least if he called the foul for contact with the dribbler's left arm), it looked like the dribbler could be called for a foul the way he held off the defender with his non-dribbling arm.

6. Good call. The G-Town player tried to push through the Butler player to get the loose ball.

4. INC. IMO, defender was moving toward the ball handler at the last second. Then ball goes OOB on offense, so possession consequence is a factor. So I believe there should have been a blocking foul here. That said, I have the benefit of replay, and this was a very close play. If the L judged that LGP had been maintained, then I like the no call with the subsequent ball OOB to Butler.

5. CC, and I would have had it for the jersey hold before the reach-around. No disrespect to GT for attempting a steal here, but there was definitely a foul in the process.

6. CC. No brainer. Admire the GT hustle, but that's a foul.

7. Looked like he still had control of the ball when a travel should have been called.

8. Damn that's a tough one. I'm not convinced the defender, after getting LGP, didn't move sideways and towards the dribbler who tried to go around him.

9. I think the G-Town player/dribbler held the arm of the Butler player, but would you call a hold on him? I honestly don't know, but I don't think the defender here did anything wrong.

7. CNC. Defender caused loss of control before any travel occurred. Lead communicated this immediately.

8. IC. Defender established LGP and was maintaining it when contact occurred.

9. IC. The GT player had the Butler player's arm locked up the entire time. I don't mind the initial no-call on the GT bump, but after that it was all one prolonged hold on the GT player. Patient whistle, sure, but once you realize a call has to be made, and two officials get together to discuss it, I'm a bit befuddled that the call wasn't against GT.*

* Note: I find that this is something I need to work on, i.e. these deceptive holds by ball handlers. They are hard to catch. In video breakdown this year I noticed a missed a few, so that will be a summer project for me.

Play #9: Gotta get the rebounding foul on White 0 for holding his opponent.
