Not saying it's certainly a foul, just throwing the idea out there.

I'll be more certain -- this is not a foul.

I do recognize that HS games are called differently in different parts of the country -- and so this type of play might be a foul somewhere. But, in NCAA -- it hardly even raises an eyebrow.

I would not call this a foul. He was already going to the floor. The defender didn't put him there.

I am not calling that in a high school game at any level or anywhere. Players that play above the rim attack the basket like this often.
