D3 Player Takes Cheap Shot

I worked a college game last week that I'm still watching on Synergy, and I had a foul on a 3-point shooter in the corner where he got hit on the side of his right elbow, which the Lead would have had no way of seeing.

Was the contact on the front of the elbow with the defensive player coming toward the offensive player or on the right side of the elbow with the defensive player going from Trail to Lead?

Right-handed shooter, left side next to end line. Defender was in front, but swiped with his left hand (away from end line) and hit the outside of the shooter's right elbow as he was elevating.

(BTW, this is the type of discussion new officials trying to get into college ball should be focusing on, not whether an NBA player can dangle from the rim after a time-out)

Did the ball get anywhere near the rim and/or did the shooter's motion have a weird reaction? I agree that it is a tough angle, if the contact is on the outside of the shooter's outside arm toward Trail. However, usually you can infer based on the trajectory of the shot and/or his body's reaction, but Trail would be the only one to actually see the contact, unless Lead gets lucky on the look through.

Amen! Discussions like these build foundations.
