1. I did not personally like this call. I do not know what the defensive player did wrong.

2. He got #11 for likely not be vertical and doing the "my hands were up" move after being in the cylinder of the offensive player. I think that was a good call.

I think this one was really close. At first, I though as you did. But, after watching it again, did the defender ever actually have LGP? I'm not sure he ever got 2 feet down while in the path of the shooter. I think he was still moving into the path at the time of contact and hadn't got that 2nd foot down to establish LGP.

I think there is not question that he had LGP. It only takes a moment and he had it longer than just a moment IMO. If the ball handler was airborne I would agree that this is a block, but the ball handler made contact while on the floor. I think this is another case of just penalizing the defense when contact occurs. I would have called this a PC foul all day based on the information I have seen. Maybe from his angle I could have considered something else, but I do not know what that would have been at this point. He did not move forward, he moved sideways. And if there is any doubt, the defense gets the doubt from my point of view.

I'm with you. I'm not sure what he did wrong, either. Not that I would solely call a PC based on the defender taking the contact from the BH/D in the middle of the chest but it's kind of hard not to have obtained LGP when a player takes the contact in the middle of the chest.
