Fun With Getting Straight-Lined …

IAABO Make The Call Video

https://storage.googleapis.com/refqu...6zRZIhDQ%3D%3D

Is this a Foul or legally blocked shot? Did the Lead take a good approach to get an angle on this play?

Two choices: The ruling of a foul is correct. This is a good block and there is no foul on the play.

My comment: This is a good block and there is no foul on the play. Tough call. Looks like the Lead may have been straight-lined. What happened to the rule about keeping the endlines clear under the baskets, both baskets in this video?

Eventually the little kid under the left basket is going to get clobbered and spill his Dr. Pepper on himself and everywhere around him.

I say the video is inconclusive. Official was in a good spot to see if he got the arm vs. the ball.

As for the endlines, I see nothing there that I would address. While many gyms have a wall not all that far from the endline, there are gyms with bleacher's along the endlines or larges amounts of space. If there is a wall, fine, keep the area clear. However, if there is 100' and/or seating, that really isn't what the rule was meant to address.

Not one of IAABO's two choices, but I agree.

Maybe the photographer on the right is alright, but there's no way I'm letting the little kid remain sitting on the floor drinking a Dr. Pepper under the basket twelve feet behind the endline.

We have a a few high school field houses here in my little corner of Connecticut with an indoor track around the court. Ball goes out of bounds and bounces and rolls a hundred feet. Often get help from cheerleaders. When there are no cheerleaders, I look at a player, he looks at me, and I say "I'm sixty-seven years old, you expect me to go and get the ball?". I always thank the player and give him second to catch his breath when he returns with the ball.

Agreed -- but he should have come to a stop at about the F Tline extended -- he could then see though the players AND be stopped to see the action.

Have game management put someone with a replacement game ball on a folding chair 15 feet or so from the endline (or put a ball behind the basket stand, if that's the type of basket being used, or ...). Put that ball into play and have the person chase down the original ball

I have no idea, the official is standing right there.

I will say this, I tend to let that stuff go unless there is a clear foul. There is not a clear foul. And it is on the other side of the ring. Just came from a camp that wanted us to stay off of these kinds of plays for the most part.

I also come back to what the Head Clinician stated to us. Assume they are going to block the shot. He said that every year I worked the State Finals.

Peace

An interesting variation of, "Anticipate the play, not the call".
