SMU @ Cincinnati Plays

[Camron Rust]

1. Regardless of what the call should be, the big problem is the mechanics. With a play at the basket, the closest official was still above the top of the key. The new lead was behind 7 players at the time of the shot. The video didn't show enough before the transition to know what went wrong. Did he miss a rotation? Did he just react too slowly to the turnover? Did he get too low as Trail before the turnover? He also looked to be hobbled a bit in transition....was he hurt an unable to keep up?

The C's position wasn't great either but not horrible. The new trail also came in with a whistle from at least 60 ft. away....not sure that was needed given the C already had a whistle.

2. Foul, #11, over the top of the shooter, not in his own space and hits the shooter's elbow.
3. Correct...screener kept moving farther and farther out through contact.
4. Defender had LGP, contact was the responsibility of the dribbler. Good call.
5. It was even 6 or 7 by the time of the whistle.

My thoughts exactly. I thought it (#1) was the right call, with the defender throwing a shoulder to the side to catch the shooter.

All the calls were correct, IMO, but I still can't see why the T came flying in with his fist up. It's an odd play for three whistles.
