Him choosing that path means nothing to me. The defender isn't legal.

If he has LGP doesn't the offense have to get head and shoulders by?

When I see a player throw his head back, when the supposed contact was on his torso - in this case on his left shoulder - I'm immediately aware that the player is trying to convince me that the contact was more than he or I perceived. If the supposed contact had been sufficient to disturb his rsbq, his torso would have been turned, to some extent, away from that contact. I don't see that.
And then, the ballhandler makes the pass towards his teammate with his left hand, the hand on the side that supposedly received the contact from the defender. Not great acting, and to use a boxing term, the defender "slipped the punch" - that is, the contact that almost occurred, of the left shoulders of the two players = a good no-call.
JMHO

If all that goes through your head in the split-second you have to make a call, then you are an official savant.

I agree completely with this. If a call was made it wouldnt have bothered me but I'm likely not putting a whistle on this play for the reasons mentioned above. And I guess Few has a legit beef if similar handchecks were called earlier in the game but to get that upset over a marginal no call seems odd to me.



It really isnt that hard. The more plays you see the quicker your mind can process this things. When people talk about "seeing the whole play" they are talking about processing the types of things Rob alluded to above.

It seemed like a lot, but upon re-reading the post it's not a lot of information to ponder before making a call /non-call.

Like.... Did the defender exaggerate the contact on a possible charge? Did the ball handler try for a shot or pass when fouled?

Eh, I think it's a foul, others don't. The guy standing there didn't. Few got whacked.

I don't think it's as clear cut either way as some here are making it to be.

Must mean it's time to unsubscribe to the thread, as it's boring me now. :)

Agree. I don't see a foul, but, like I said earlier, I'm not claiming there wasn't one either.

It was certainly not the play where Few should have reacted the way he did. Any contact that was there didn't cause the player to throw that ball away like he did.

It appears to me the contact is shoulder to shoulder but if his hand does get in there I agree.

Hard to tell from this angle, to be honest.

Whether this should be called a foul is obviously debatable, but whether this is a T hasn't been. I think its a great T and I would like to see more called at the college level. Maybe some of that would rub off on some of these HS coaches. But probably not.
