Final Four video requests

3.5 seconds left
Great example of a touch foul hurting the team with the ball.
That level of contact wasn't a foul all game.

Update: I will not be able to post any of the videos until Monday or Tuesday.

Again, specifics help with the time, half and the type of play.

I will not be home until Monday afternoon. It will also take me some time to get the videos up as well. That is why Tuesday is not out of the question.

Peace

Absolutely agree. Even the player whose coach supposedly wanted him to foul couldn't believe they actually called him for one on that.

Then again, this is not at all the scenario that has generated so much discussion in the Ohio thread.

Few's postgame interview comments don't support that. He stated that they wanted to foul with under six seconds left and had practiced it all year.

Ducks v Tarheels
10:06 of first half. CBS replay included.
Oregon drive to the basket.
Foul whistled on UNC.
1. Did he travel first?
2. Was it a clean strip by the defense?

[Nevadaref]

Ducks/Tarheels
7:34 of first half
crash near the basket
Questions: possession of the ball by offense? time & distance by defender? Does the RA apply to this play?

That was a PCF. LGP obtained and maintained, "receiver" established player control before contact.

Really tough call in real time, though. Given the relative motion of the two players involved, I can certainly see how it may have appeared to the L that the defender was moving forward. That happens when the offensive player has a lot of downhill momentum and the contact is significant.

Right. We know that. Yet the player who was whistled for the foul reacted incredulously and was still befuddled all the way back to the bench.

2:32 left in first half
Trail whistles a block on a fast break while lead lets the contact go as another player swats the shot away.

2:32 to go in first half of Oregon game. Foul on Oregon play. Phantom foul and T appears to point at RA.

Agree. Incidental contact (if any) at best.

But I thought he was pointing to indicate the defender in question, just so everyone knew the monster blocked shot wasn't the foul. And pointing adamantly, for the sake of salesmanship, for taking the thunder out of the gym.

[Nevadaref]

Whether it is a foul or not shouldn't be the question.
I think that it is more important to note that the primary official had this play covered and the determination should have been left up to him. The Lead had an excellent angle to see the space/contact between the players. The Trail had a closed-look.
I would be ticked if a partner whistled this after I made a no-whistle decision.
