Good call. We don't have the restricted area so these are a little bit easier for me to officiate.

OK, I wasn't arguing with you. I should have removed the quotation marks: one ref's "little" is another ref's "lot."

I can see where a lot of officials would have:
1) passed on making a call 2) called a block due to wide stance (too wide for a screener but not a defender) or arms not being completely vertical Nice to see the official make a stand and call a PC at such an important part of the game. Would have liked to see the hand behind the head to make it clearer. |
It was pretty clear to me that he was punching the other direction and not counting the basket. Not sure what the weak "hand behind the head" mechanic would have done there. Maybe he could've emphatically waved off the shot, but there still probably would have been confusion.
The call was correct, and it wasn't even close IMO. |
Great call, and despite the announcers being confused for some reason, the official's call was clear to me.

Correct call, absolutely. This is why I combine the approved hand behind the head mechanic with a strong punch with the hand that I used to stop the clock.
|
Hand behind the head is fine at the table, but is a horribly weak mechanic at the spot. Obvious to me that he was punching it the other way.
|
Normally when a call is this obvious (i.e., when viewing it in real time) it gets me worried that I'm missing something. Luckily in slo-mo it's confirmed to be a great call.

Agree though that the "proper" mechanic looks awful at the spot. Waving off the shot would have been the best way to emphatically clarify the call. |

Looks like your garden variety player control foul to me.
