This Is Not A Foul ...

Bottom line, this is not a foul by the player from behind. It just looks like he is jumping and makes little to no contact in the process.

Agree.

IAABO Play Commentary: Correct Answer: This is not a foul.

I thought that Raymond was referring to the odd wording of the results. IAABO probably would have been better off with two simpler choices: This is a foul, or this is not a foul.

The "correctly" in the answer This is correctly ruled a foul was referring to the actual call in the video, and was probably not necessary as part of the answer choices, and ended up making the final posted results somewhat oddly worded.

I have to ask why the old Trail official collects the ball and heads toward the end line for a throw-in. The inset scoreboard in the video shows the team fouls to be 11 and 9. (Amusing that 11 is posted.) Both teams are clearly in the bonus and have been for a while. Poor game awareness and possibly botching a rule by not awarding merited FTs (based upon the call made).

I also believed that it was odd. Second time though I thought that he was just going to get the basketball from a fan, but he seemed to stop after he corralled the ball and didn't even look upcourt.

Never even had a scoreboard operator try that. Never. Ever. Even with no input from officials, they unilaterally just don't do it. Probably learned it in scoreboard operator school.

"Hey. BillyMac. Look. It's nineteen to two. Don't we get to shoot free throws too?"
