NIT: Illinois at UCF video request
 

Charging foul called with 1 second remaining in the first half.
The officials did not count the basket.
Was that the correct decision?

Without seeing the video, you cannot count a basket on a charge. The rule is the same as the NF rule now.

Peace

Ok, must have been one of the changes prior to last season.

Gender Equity ...
 

Both NCAA men and women? No more count the basket and let's go shoot one and one down the other end?

Here is the play.

Like the defender, I am leaning towards a block. But, that was not the topic of the OP. Indeed, PC foul negates basket.

It is not like this would be the first time we talked about something else on one of these videos. That being said, since we cleared up the rule change, if you want to talk about that part, then talk about it.

Peace

I paused the vid at 20, when I feel the shooter began the gather/shot. Defender moves both feet and then we have a collision. Tough call in my opinion and can't argue either way. Again, I'm thinking block. Now, what really bugs me is the L rotating when he did. If the L stays, I think the L has a much better view than the calling official.

Wth is Lead doing??

How does the shooter beginning the gather/shot matter? The defender is only required to have LGP before the shooter leaves the floor which is well after the gather and start of the shooting motion.

Also, why does a defender moving his feet matter? The defender isn't required to be stationary but is simply required to be in the path. Subsequent foot movement that doesn't move the defender into the path and doesn't move the defender towards the opponent is not illegal. The defender could do the jitterbug as long as he meets the other criteria.

I do have this as a block because I do believe the defender not only moved his feet but in doing so moved INTO the path of the shooter after the shooter was airborne. That is what makes it a block.

Curious to what happened prior to start of video? The "true" C is at half court and T is at free throw line extended, right or wrong I think this is why L felt need to rotate completely away from play that came right at him. Just curious

I like the charge call here.

The player does move once the player is airborne but its a side step to ensure that his chest is what takes the players body not his shoulder or head (also to ensure that the contact is not glancing if the offensive player contorts). He can move to protect himself. He does not establish a new spot or move into a new path once the player is airborne, just repositions himself within the spot he's already claimed. ie. he got narrower

Block. Defender moves forward and into the shooter after the offensive player is airborne.

Here is the very next play (Video)

No foul. No travel. Correct no call.

As a secondary defender, B2 establishes initial LGP on the RA and then after A1 is airborne B2 takes a step up with each foot.

Do you have a block as a result?

Peace

Yes Sir.

That's the way I saw it also. But can certainly understand that getting missed as they were little steps and happened really fast.

On a side note: Good God - who is that giant on the UCF team???

I think if the Lead stays and officiates that play he picks up that movement. Hard for Center to follow the ball-handler and pick up the secondary defender.

Tacko? He is 7'6'' and is, I heard, listed as the 40th tallest person in the world.

I can agree.

Now, why is C blowing whistle and waving end of first half? NBD, just happen to notice it. Should be T's job. Again, NBD.

Agreed. Not sure where the L was going.

I've got nothing on this one. The defender appears to be back peddling in the same direction as the offensive player and has his arms vertical. Good no call on that play.

Initially I think the defender does have LGP, but he does move slightly forward and to his right after the shooter is airborne. I think this should have been a block call and an and 1.
