Interesting out of bounds play (Video)

There wasn't enough for me to declare control at the instant the ball became dead. So I agree with no reset, but I would have worded your argument a little differently.

That's control and a reset in my game.

The out of bounds call is correct. The C needed to help here.

The shot clock question is less clear. The player is juggling the ball. I don't believe that he ever caught it, so I would only rule that he was in contact with it and not reset the shot clock. Of course, I get to watch it ten times on video replay.

(The Lead's look at this play is similar to what he has on many block/charge crashes in the lane. I now think that officiating should rethink how we handle b/c plays in the paint. We need to recognize that sometimes the C has the best look.)

I strongly think it actually takes two angles to always properly judge some block/charge plays. Most of the time, one angle is sufficient. However, there is always some direction of defensive movement that can be very difficult to see form any one position....that direction being along the line if sight from the official to the defender.

If you're looking at a block/charge play from the side (as is often the case with the C) and the question is whether the defender made it into the path in time or whether the defender leaned outside of his/her vertical space, that can be best left to someone with a different and better view.

Regardless of the angle, if an official sees an action that makes it a block, it is a block,. However, not seeing an action that would make it a block doesn't necessarily meant it isn't.
