Duke/Kansas Block ?

[rbruno]

What do you guys have?
Can you make the case that the defender didn’t get his torso square
for “initial” LGP. Then moved slightly after the shooter left his feet
hence the block call. Been asking most of my ref friends and
it’s been unanimous that it should have been a charge.

1) I am a life long KU fan (my beloved mother, Class of 1942).

2) The B1 Established a LGP. Any movement by B1 was within his Cylinder of Verticality. Therefore, a Charge by A1.

Pretty easy charge IMO. I think the calling official leaned block because of the score.

Bang-bang play, but PCF in my mind.

I don't follow. What do you mean, AR?

Kansas was down at the time. Kansas had been at a foul count disadvantage. Kansas had 2 plays that should have been fouls on Duke that didn't go their way.

Or maybe Roger just missed it.

I guess I’m in the minority, but I’m still saying block. I had the defender, specifically his left shoulder, leaning toward and into the ball handler’s path. I think the defender sought out the contact where it occurred.

That said, I haven’t watched the play since I DVR’d it on Sunday night. Maybe I don’t remember it as well as I think I do.

Roger Ayers advanced. I think maybe JD Collins thought it was a block, too. Actually that whole crew advanced, didn’t they?

I'm more concerned with the lack of foul calls on two Kansas OOB plays and the inconsistent enforcement of traveling on 2 similar plays.
