No call, Kentucky foul or Florida foul?

The injury is not relevant. This is a foul all day long, in all situations. He upended the player who was already standing there.

Now ... when do we get to hear John Adams' thoughts?

Right now! Thanks so much for all of the comments.

No foul was called on either Kentucky (the initial push) or Florida (displacing the Kentucky player receiving the ball).

John Adams said this.

"KY player inadvertently pushes FL player into TyTy. Purely accidental but it seems a foul should have been called on the FL player. Washington didn’t slip on a banana peel!"

I was hoping he would explain his position more fully, but he didn't. Some thought the Kentucky player should be called for a foul. Some thought the Florida player should. Others thought the no-call was correct.

I appreciate this group sharing your thoughts on it, which was greatly appreciated.

Foul on red 100 times out of 100

I've had to come get these types of fouls before, and I'm sure I've missed one a time or two as well. But these need called. If you want to get technical, just break it down into 2 equal parts of advantage for the ball/floor space. If there is any imbalance in that percentage that is caused by contact, then there you go.
