The first play I have the defense moving into the shooter.

Second play I dont see advantage by either player and he either gets two or its rebounded. No call there imo.

Thanks for the awesome video.

Defenders did a fabulous of being vertical in both plays. Neither should have been whistled.

Look at the defender and his feet. He is at the Restricted area circle when he jumps and appears to stay at that level when jumped into by the jumper. I think this was a good no call honestly. I thought it was a foul when I first saw it, but the replay changed my mind. But it was close for sure when live.

First shot is a good no-call. It looks funny b/c A1's knee contacts B1's leg and causes both of them to go off-balance.

On the 2nd shot, I can understand why the C called a foul, but looking at the replay I think it was just incidental contact.

Karma :D

B11 got away with a foul on the 1st rebounding action. 2nd rebound, I have 2 players jumping for a rebound and B11 losing his balance when he lands.

In the first play it looks like the defender got to the spot first, and then jumped straight up (vertical).

The defender in the second play did not get to the spot of contact first, hence the pushing call.

I suppose there's a little nudge (not intentional), but I'm cool with the no-call/travel.

I agree...on the first. Rut mentioned that he came back down in the same spot. I think that is due to the momentum of the shooter pushing him back, not because he jumped vertically.

On the 2nd, the defender's knee was extended and caught the shooter, pushing him out to a wider line than preferred.

On play #2, I don't have a foul on either. On the first, it didn't displace the player in front...he jumped towards the ball that his teammate mis-rebounded.
On the 2nd, I have two guys going for a ball legally.

Block, he's still stepping into the shooter as he's going up.

I'm not 100% sure, but I lean towards "blocK". It looks like the defender is moving sideways, but not obliquely, into the path of the shooter upon contact. From the center's angle he may see otherwise, though, so I'm not up in arms over the call.

C is trying to see what the defender is doing through the offensive player's back. He doesn't appear to be able to see if the defense has gotten into position.
