LSU game offensive foul
ESPN showed the offensive foul against LSU late in the game where the player and the defender were running on the right side of the court. ESPN replayed it and called it "the worst call of the day". The referee had an angle with the players coming directly at him. Wouldn't you think ESPN could realize that they are looking at it from the TV angle where you cannot tell if the player lowered his shoulder into the defense or not? The official was very confident with his call so I'm inclined to believe the offensive player leaned in and forced the contact and the defense had legal guarding position.

I agree, I thought it was the right call. ESPN doesn't know sh*t, they just think they do.

I am also sick of Stuart Scott -- hes so 2001.

Now here's the gotcha. Did you see the coaches reaction afterwards? With all the antics he did over that call, why didn't he get a technical? I can only imagine what he was saying, and you can bet it was 50x's worse than, you got something against my player! |

While we're talking block/charge
7:25 2nd half Bucknell vs Holy Cross
Turnover Bucknell at the top of the key turns into Holy Cross fast break... opinions? (There's now 3:00 to go as I post) |
I don't remember that play, but the Bucknell coach sure does whine a lot!

Really???? So, if I have LGP, while sliding laterally w/ an offensive player, and he runs through me, even though he doesn't dip a shoulder or throw an elbow, you're calling a block on me????? You would also then be calling a technical on me as well, I believe. And probably my coach, and the ***'t coach, and ...... No playoffs for you either, IMHO. |
A complete lack of understanding of LGP is no surprise here; well said, tmp44. I hate when people say "he wasn't set." No such requirement.

Did you recall reading that or did you just read what you wanted to read and ignored the rest. If you're going to comment try to take everything that's said into consideration and not just pick out the parts you don't like to make your point. This is called propaganda, misrepresenting the truth (or what was actually said) for personal gain. Now, do you have a comment on the topic of discussion? |
You don't need an elbow or a push to call an offensive foul here. That's the problem with your logic. A defensive player does not need to be "set" in order to draw a run of the mill player control foul. He can be moving to maintain position. Read the rule book on Legal Guarding Position.

re:
In article published in the Baton Rouge (LA) Advocate the day after, the official on that play, Bert Smith, was said to have apologized for the call to Collis Temple Jr. His kid, Garrett Temple, up the offensive foul. Garrett was quoted as saying that another official told him it shouldn't have been a foul. I was watching and thought Bert missed it. I didn't think he had a great angle, but he sold it like a muther.

Old School: Please read the NFHS, NCAA Men's/Women's or FIBA rules books. You will see that: 1) The definitions of both guarding and screening are identical in all three codes; 2) This is a situation where the defensive player is effecting a legal moving screen against the offensive player and the offensive player moved into the defensive player.
