Vid request: Wash vs OSU - 2 whistles for phantom foul?

[Blindolbat]

#1 looks like a block to me with or without RA

#2 - I'm not good enough to make that call

Yes you are! When you see these plays just make sure to watch the defender closely and look for the point of contact cuz that is often where the foul is. In plays like this the defenders love to stick their knees in there to displace the opponent, so that would be a further clue.

And if we consistently call this foul when the ball-handler is disrupted it will discourage the tactic in the future.

These guys are coached to do this subtle tactics in hopes that officials will not see the contact or will think the contact is marginal.
