Whether the ball is contacted first means a lot at this level. You saying otherwise doesn't change that. It's pretty clear when I watch NCAA D1 games. |

But this is a philosophy, and not a rule, yes? |

I can look at the incidental contact rule and clearly judge that the block did not prevent the shooter from doing normal movements. Peace |

It's the case here in good HS hoops too. I only referenced NCAAM in the post cause that's the level the video is from. If a HS player gets ball first it makes a lot incidental.....as long as the defender doesn't annihilate the airborne shooter in the process. |

I'm talking more about the out of balance defender that gets ball and then crushes the shooter.....but those pretty much call themselves. All I know is that when someone has a clean block up top and tries to sell "body down low" It's usually a weak call. |

Agreed, if he gets ball first. If he cleanly swats the ball into the wall followed by minimal contact of any kind, nobody wants a foul there, except the team taking the shot. But if the defender grazes the ball with a fingertip and then follow through with contact that draws blood, what do you have then? Obviously the OP is somewhere in between. To me, with the benefit of the replay, this meets the definition of a foul. As far as rule vs. philosophy, I'm just saying there is no provision which says: If the defender contacts the ball first, any subsequent contact shall be ruled incidental. I call it the roughing the kicker philosophy. |
There's no provision that says it's a foul, either. It's all judgment on advantage / disadvantage.

There is no such rule in basketball. |

Contact can be severe and not be a foul. Conversely, contact can be minimal and be a foul, and touching the ball is coincidental to both. |
