Well at least if Bilas is going to rant, he might as well be right about it.

Well, he wasn't that wrong. The elbow only contacted the opponents bicep and was nowhere near being above his shoulders. The player who the elbow hit did flop...he acted like it hit him in the face and it didn't.

As much as Bilas may be a blowhard who doesn't know rule application to save his life, even they are right now and then.

Bilas: "No contact whatsoever" "Gigantic failure by the officials"

You guys think he's COMPLETELY right?

He's right in that there was no contact to warrant a FF1 and the offensive player flopped.

He snaps his head back on his own to avoid getting hit by the elbow(flop) but I think he gets hip checked and arm shoved pretty well by 0, a bigger player. So no F1 maybe, but def imo a common foul, but maybe that's what Jay's rant is more about I guess is what you guys are saying? I sure don't agree with him that a T could be called on the "flopper"

Sorry, it was an "egregious" failure, rather than a gigantic one

By rule, in NFHS, it could happen. Not sure if it is NCAA as well. I've never called it but I believe a saw some posts here in the past that others have.

He was right that it shouldn't have been an F1. The official, when explaining the call to the table crew even gestured that it hit the opponent under the chin when it clearly didn't.
