Big Ten Tournament 2018 plays (Video)

1. While the player was vertical, he doesn't get to move forward into contact. He hit the shooter's arms twice while stepping into the shooter, not maintaining verticality. Should be an easy call...Foul.

2. While you can hit the hand that is on the ball, you can't do that. The point of that rule is so that a ball handler can't just cover the ball with big mitts and prevent the defense from getting to it. That contact wasn't on a hand covering the ball. He completely missed the ball and got a hand, knocking it off away from the ball. Tough to see, but the contact was not legal.

3. About as easy as they come on illegal screens.

4. Travel. Ball was caught with left foot down above the FT line just as the right foot was coming up....left is the pivot. He steps to the right and then to the left again.

1. Easy foul.
2. I got nothing.
3. Easy call, coach is mad at the guy setting the screen but that's on his point guard.
4. Travel. Would that have been called if he had gone up with an immediate shot? Or did it get called because he stopped and continued to pivot?

#5. Couldn't tell on the travel for sure...so no travel. Defender moved into the offense after the offense jumped....block.

#6. Definitely hit the backboard first. Good call. If NFHS, I don't think it was on the way down. It was at the peak, however. Good block in HS.

#7. Hit the wrist, not the hand on the ball. Foul.

No chance this is called if he takes the shot, jumps, etc. It was called because he stopped the action.

Play #8 On his last step white 5 changes direction and turns into red. That being said I don't know if red ever has both feet down but I'm not sure he needs too as white makes all the contact.

Prior to the contact Red defender grabs White's arm.

I seen that although I wouldn't call that a grab but the call was blocking.

??? What does that mean ???

If a defender isn't in legal position, contact created by the offense can still be a block and usually is. And for that matter, red had both feet down 3-4 times.

I think it is still a block, but it has to be for the right reasons.

What I was getting at was red lost LGP as white beat him driving perpendicular to the endline. However on his last step white changes his direction by about 45 degrees. On this new trajectory red is in his path. However after white's last step although red is now in his path I don't think red ever has two feet down again to reestablish LGP but does he need to becasue isn't red entitled to that stop on the floor as he got there first. I liken it to the situation of a guard in the open court dribbling with a defender running next to him. If the guard changes direction to run over the defender next to him I'm not calling a block on him.

Are you sure red loses LGP? Did white get head and shoulders by red? When white isn't moving directly at red, red can still have LGP. If that were not the case, an offensive player could always take 1 step away from an opponent to make them lose LGP then bowl them over if they're not stationary.

Bingo.
