Whoops.

Thanks, JRut.

1. Good call
2. Eh. Definitely with a hop after initial contact and before shot goes up. Probably shouldn't have counted it but in full speed I can see it.

Play 1 is basically about as close as it gets.

Did the defender stop moving forward before the offensive player left the ground to catch the pass? I looked at in slo-mo and still can't decide

Announcer is dead wrong though. He's got the ball, you don't have to give a chance to a damn thing (other than touch the floor if you got there late). Live, I probably would've had a block too.

Very difficult play to officiate too, unless you're disciplined enough to stare at the empty lane in your PCA with a trap 3 feet away from you.

The block/charge play is close. Did the defender establish his position prior to the offensive player going airborne? It is tough to tell even with the video. The offensive player doesn't come down on the floor either. He lands on the defender's foot and then crashes into him.
Difficult play, but I call a charge when it is super close.

The other play is not even close. Only MTD and the guy working the game would count the goal. Cinci/Xavier? Perhaps its an Ohio thing.

1. Close but correct. Defender didn't get to the spot in time.
2. I agree with the call of counting the bucket. The player started the shooting action before being fouled. You could argue he traveled but I doubt very many would call that.

Block charge call was a tough one. Good call by the official. In real time I thought he'd kicked it and that it was a charge. Super slo mo shows he has better eyes than I do. Good call.

The continuos motion call here is tough. I guess it depends on how patient your whistle it. There is contact before he's in his shooting motion in between there is also contact that may or may be during shooting motion but is definitely during a feet shuffle, there is contact while he is in shooting motion. At what point you felt the contact was enough to call the foul may be the standard here. I am probably not going with continuation here.
