Verticality Example : Anticipating a call

[crosscountry55]

I’m not sure it’s so much anticipating the call as it is misperceiving that the defender was moving toward the ball handler at the point of contact. He wasn’t, but in real time the relative motion between the two can make it appear that way.

This is something I need to get better at, too. I suppose the moral of the story is...be patient and if it’s marginal like that, even if the defender may have appeared to be moving forward, just bite the whistle and play on.

In your friend’s defense, it’s good that he erred on the side of the team getting blown out.
