Saw UCLA/Arizona game today, guard drives, big defender jumps straight up (replay showed it without a doubt), arms in good position, guard runs into him, big guy gets a foul. The commentator, Jay Bilas, mentioned verticality and how it's rarely called properly.

Your thoughts?

Sounds like a rare occasion when a commentator knew what he was talking about.

Calls to mind a favorite coaches' line. . . ."Just because he's big doesn't mean he can't be fouled!"

Lightbulb Coach speak.

I used the term on Friday during my game, the coach said to me, "I have not heard that in 20 years of coaching." I can see why they complain like they do after that statement.

Peace

I worked a tournament last year that used NCAA rules. When I justified my no-calls with the verticality rules, I had coaches and players looking at me like "what the hell is that????" I had to make sure I didn't have toilet paper streaming from the back of my pants.

Smile Start

That is why it is very important to see the beginning of the play. In reguards to verticality is that where they started or is that where they ended up. Usually about the time we blow our whistle everyone has their hands strait up in the air. If you don't see the beginning of this one you are definitely in trouble on the replay.

Verticality = no call = incidential contact = correct?

Verticality = defender did not initiate contact = if it's a foul, it's on the offense = IMHO
