Technical given to coach (Video)

Eh. I'm not calling that. If a player wants to take the worst possible route and go the last place he should be trying to go, I need more than that to bail him out.

This is not necessarily a scoring route, but it has become a significant part of many offenses, especially at the college level. His intent is to make a pass across the end line to the player spotting up for a 3 on the other side. The pass he attempted after being fouled that was intercepted. An argument can be made that the bump disrupted the timing of the play and caused the turnover. Also, even if he was trying to use this as a scoring drive and trying to get to a bad place, this is exactly the kind of play NCAA-M officials have been directed repeatedly the last couple of years to clean up.

If I'm the L, I'm thinking I have a foul on that for the textbook hand check.

That's a foul depending on how the game had been called up to that point. However that contact didn't lead to the turnover.

From the angle in the video, I don't see a foul. I'm not saying there isn't one but I wouldn't make a foul call from the angle available. His arm appear to be tucked in against his own body until he pulled it out an up. Given a view from the endline or the other side, I could easily change my mind.

While I'd likely have a foul on this play, it doesn't seem like something worth getting all worked up over and earning a tech.

I don't see anything either from this angle. I see some acting, but not much else.

The defender doesn't have LGP and clearly impedes the ball handler.

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

Defender bites on the initial fake. After contact, offensive player can do nothing but pass, which results in a TO. If L calls a foul, literally nothing incorrect or bad happens. Only person that would be mad with that call is the defender because he knew he fell for the fake.
