Cal @ USC RA play near the end of game (Video)

Thanks for posting JRut. Wow!! This play was a lot closer than I was informed about. This is a very tough play considering the time and situation. A lot to be learned from this.

I don't like where the L is positioned on the court in front of the endline or how his head position is no-where remotely looking at the RA; it is completely upward. The C could officiate upward action to the rim and would have a difficult view picking up defender's feet due to USC #22 obstructing the sight-line one this play.

I agree with your assessment and like the no-call as well.
