Jab by the defender on the jump shooter (non-contact)

[Nu1]

Jurassic - I understand your point and agree, in so much as how you explained the difference in the faking a punch and jabbing actions.

However, I see jabbing at the "midsection" as a possible T depending on the play. By midsection we may actually be talking groin area. Jabbing at someone - a jump shooter in the air - at their groin section can certainly affect a shooter, IMO, whether or not there is contact. I think it could easily and justifiably be called a T.

Again, I agree with how you separated my two examples. I still like the way my partner handled our specific situation. If it was unclear, the jab in question when my partner called the foul was at the groin area...on a jump shooter...and it was close to contact. I can understand jabbing from 5 or 6 feet away being a no-call. Depends on the exact play.
