That's a foul anytime that play happens in my PCA.

I'm amazed at how many people on Twitter are saying this is a weak foul. It's not even a difficult one to call, IMO.

When the commentators, analysts and the coach of the team that was called for a foul all say it is a foul, it is probably a foul.

Its a foul.

Fanboy issues aside the people I talk to who believe its (soft) or not a foul come to this conclusion by conflating the following issues.

1) The defender leaves the floor first and based on the angles provided may or may not be on a path to fly by.

2) THe defender's shooting motion brings his legs forward so it looks like he's kicking them out.

3) The leg that comes farthest and lands in a new spot is the one the tenesse player hits.

Bottom line is to the fans without an angle from behind or other side of floor (Where benches are) there are people who think the only reason contact is occuring is because of the kick of the legs.

For the record its a foul.

And now my old man yellling about my lawn moment. A great example of the risk involved in teaching kids to jump to contest/fly by to try to run shooters off the line instead of teaching closeouts.

I was at the other arena last night, and this was on the screens between games. I was in a crowd for the play. The loudest know-it-alls were all confident it could not be a foul because the ball had already left his hand. I just rolled my eyes and didn't bother trying to explain . . . .
