VERTICALITY

[RAINMAN]

SAW THIS LATE IN THE REGULAR SEASON IN AN LSU GAME. A FAKES A SHOT AND GETS THE B TO LEAVE HIS FEET. B GOES STRAIGHT UP A JUMPS UNDERNEATH HIM AND THROWS UP A SHOT. OFFICIAL CALLS A FOUL ON B. NO WAY HE WENT STRAIGHT UP CONTACT WAS INITIATED BY A.

OFFICIALS NEED TO DO A BETTER JOB OF BEING CALLING THIS SITIUATION. I KNOW EVERYONE BELEIVES IF HE LEAVES HIS FEET ON A HEAD FAKE HE DESERVES TO BE CALLED FOR A FOUL. BUT HE HAS A RIGHT TO THE SPACE ABOVE HIM.

YOUR THOUGHTS.
