Vid Request: Post TC Foul w/ L Rotating

[All_Heart]

This is a tough play. IMO this is a no call and I will talk with Blue #3 at the first opportunity. Blue #3 is showing his right arm while using his left hand/arm to push up on White #14's arm. The whistle comes as Blue #3 is hooking and pulling #14's arm back as he is falling down. This action makes it appear that White #14 is warding off when he is just trying to post up legally. I've seen this occur in some other games and when I get a chance I'll post some of those examples. Live this would be a very hard thing for Lead to see unless he already has prior knowledge of this players actions in the past. One thing that may help is to always find the defensive player's hands.

The first illegal action on this play is W14 using a horizontal arm in the post to push down on B3's arm, followed by B3 pushing W14's arm up, followed by W14 then pushing B3 backwards.

We are constantly told to get the first illegal action in the post, and W14 committed the first illegal action.
