Syracuse v Virginia RA play - Higgins

Does any one have a clip of this play. Higgins is one of the best, but it looked like the defender in the play I am referring to was at least a foot in front of the ARC. Believe 1st half. He pointed to the arc and I believe the commentators mentioned it as well.
Question - if defender establishes initial legal guarding position in front of the arc and steps back with one or both feet to brace for the contact (legal movement) does it matter where his feet end up? Not saying that is what happened on this play, but thinking that situation might be confusing.

I did not see your play and Jeff or others will need more specific info of when it occurred to pull it up. A secondary defender cannot attempt to take a charge with a foot in or over the arc. That is viewed as when initial contact occurs. If he is hit and knocked into the arc that's different.

he missed that bad. both feet were at least a foot in front of the RA upon contact. I don't know what he thought he saw, but it didn't happen. The trail had a charge, so I don't know how they dealt with that either. And the defender was there and planted for several steps.

We're going to need video to speculate any further, but in order to get video, the Video Department is going to need more to work with.

Higgins missed that one badly. He would have been better not pointing to the RA because the defender was probably two feet outside. I replayed it to confirm.
