Agree. Take a look at the first part of the clip, and you can see that the L is clearly watching the ball handler as he is dribbling up the court. Not sure he ever saw that defender until the crash happened.

Perhaps he is one of the officials that goes to a block if the defender leans back before contact (he was, slightly)

I don't want to derail the thread with an extended reply, but keeping my sig updated with my game info does two things for me: 1) gets me coming back to the forum after each scheduled date to update it/ask questions about anything weird & 2) provides a free online place to keep track of what I've worked. Maybe it's not the best place, but it works for me and provides context to other officials when I ask a question about a particular ruleset so they are aware how much or how little exposure I have had in that ruleset.

Back to basketball, I'm glad to see I was close to the right answers on these. Maybe for the wrong reasons, but still close to the answers given by others on this board.

This is more of a generic comment about this particular game. I recorded it and have watched most of the 1st half. Early in the game, I thought the game was overly physical and it did not seem like many calls were made for contact, hand checks, etc. It seemed a little better as the game went on. For those of you that watched the game or at least the first half, what was your general assessment? I could go back and find a few plays if need be, but just wanted to get some thoughts going.

1. Good "no call" on the potential backcourt as he was dribbling and thus requires all 3 points into the frontcourt.
2. How can we get these plays wrong. I honestly believe this is an extremely easy PC call at the varsity level. If Harry Kitts is still heading up the Minneapolis Officials Association there I'm sure he won't like that one.
3. Really good get. That specific play is tough live.
