Women's South Carolina @ Mizzou (Video)

[#olderthanilook]

1. 50/50...gotta have a block or charge there. I like the official's angle.

2. Great call. Again, right in the L's lap. Great job staying with secondary defender. Big call - that's 2 pf on Mizzou's stud sophomore Sophie Cunningham in the first half.

3. Another good call. That's an easy up and down foul on a perimeter jump shooter. That is not boxing out. It's displacement.

I am ok with all three calls.

1. That's a tough play but the right call. Not convinced I would have gotten it right and based on the block shot might have passed on it all together as it was so close.

2. Right call but as others have stated could be perceived as soft.

3. She's moving backwards into and under a player shooting the ball. I'm ok with this too. As I mentioned in a previous post in my new league if I don't get this then I would have partner(s) running in to get it for me and talking to me at half.

2 good call rewarding a smart defensive play.
3. excellent call. defender is putting her body into the midsection of shooter and displacing

I like all three calls. Play #3 was the easiest. I like that they went with PC and not flagrant.

I don't know about "Right in the L's Lap." He looks pretty straightlined to me, and that's what I think leads to an incorrect call. From his POV, I don't think he can gauge the amount of contact. W3 makes a very smart and legal defensive play, but is trying to draw the charge on P3 the whole way (btw, these are the same O and D players as in Play #1). Now there's nothing illegal about the defender falling backwards and embelishing a bit, but there has to be sufficient contact to cause displacement, and I don't think that happens, I think the offensive player pulls up short of significant contact.

The only one I would even debate would be #2 just because of how light the contact really was, but I'm sure most of us have called that a PC foul before so I can't fault him.

I really like #3. I don't think it gets called enough at the high school level.

I think this is a no-brainer call. I do not care how "light" the contact is. If that much contact takes place I am calling a foul. And I think the defender was clearly there to take the charge.

I have called this and would call this if I saw it. You are not allowed to undercut a player and the player was bigger and got to the ball legally.

All correct and good calls. Nice to have sequences of correct calls to see.

[ballgame99]

1) tough call to make at full speed, but looks correct.
2) 50/50. My initial reaction was the defender was coming forward, but not sure of that on replay.
3) the foul called is a foul, but I have a rebound foul before that. Pink had position and the big white player came through her space to get the rebound (ie didn't go vertical to use her height to get the rebound).

Question NCAA-W's officials.

In play 2, wouldn't that still be the Trail primary coverage with the Lead following the ball out to the corner?
