For NBA fans, Lance/Green jump ball last night

[Pantherdreams]

If contact beyond incidental leads to or it the cause of a tie up. Foul.

If the ball is tied up first, neither side is under any obligation to let go. So movements/strength/contortion on either the part of either player that results in contact happening after this fact unless its an aggressive non basketball play should be a jump ball IMO.

yes you are right, the official in front of the bench did initially indicate foul, then switched. the replay center guy said the foul clearly happened before the jump ball. I didn't see it that way. I do not know if I've ever seen a jump ball by one official and foul by a 2nd end up being a jump ball, but by indicating that the foul came first, the replay center is implying that if the jump came first, it would have been a jump. I personally thought it was a jump.

off topic but about the replay center

I'm curious if they allow audio, by that I mean are they listening to the play by play people as that could influence how they view the call. I was befuddled watching the Blazers/Pelicans game. I thought CJ on the blazers made an amazing play putting his leg up after falling so not to hit out of bounds. Ref said out of bounds on him, but I thought it could have been overturned. It wasn't and I get that as it was very close but in a close game these matter.
And then shortly after, Holiday on the Pelicans was called for going out of bounds. On review the call was overturned. The TV people thought it was going to be, but again it was extremely close and I did not see any clear evidence to overturn it. Two important calls that went against the Blazers and I did not really understand why one call gets overturned and not the first.
