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

Didn't have LGP??? LGP is one of the few things I'm sure of form the video. I feel he clearly had it and moved laterally afterwards to maintain it. Perhaps he lost it at the last second as the shooter starts to get by him...is that what you're saying?

Yes.

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

Not when the defender sticks his arm out.

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

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?

Yup. Written out it seemed like more than it was but it was really just processing 2 things.

And again, the more plays we see the better, and quicker, we are able to process this stuff.

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.

This, this, this.

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.

I agree, I didn't even notice the hand the first time. I had to rewatch after you brought it up.

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.

I don't think it's being debated because it's clearly and obviously a warranted T. You say you'd like to see it called more, but I doubt you can find an instance of a coach this out of control where it was not called.
