Definitely NOT a charge.

Even if you don't agree with that, this contact was so slight that it had no impact on the play...no advantage.

Agree. Looked like minimal contact.....unless there was something else that we couldn't see because of the camera angle.

Upon further review, I have a play on situation. No Foul!!!!

[Ref in PA]

As I looked at the play and slowed it frame by frame, Blue 1 (B1) was in the air at the same time White 30 (A1) was in the air. I agree the contact was minimal from the camera angle. B1 reaches up with the left arm to make a play at the ball prior to the jump, I can't tell if the arm of B1 was hit. From the camera angle, I cannot disagree with the foul call, there seems to be enough going on to justify it, however, I could also agree with a no call.

A1 definitely gets in the face of B1 and says something briefly to him. I could see a T being given to A1, if not, then definitely a verbal warning. A1 turns around specifically to say something to B1 after the basket was made - A1 looking up to see it go through.

Those are my observations.

Just a question....how is that relevant?

B1 has chosen a path that intersects with the path of A1 (back peddling and drifting to his left). I felt that B1 adjusted at the last moment to make the shot more difficult for B1, at the same time giving up ground. At the time of intersection it was my feeling that B1 did not have lgp and certainly was not set by being in the air.

You are correct that being in the air is not relevant to having or not having lgp or being charged into. I was just trying to describe what I saw.

Concur, I got nuttin. If you call that ticky-tack contact, it's gonna be a long game.

If I called that with regularity I don't think I'd be working much in my area.

Ahhhh...Richland vs. Pasco. Nothing like a rivalry game to get the heart pumping. Gotta say I had nothing on my first look, and even more nothing on my second, slow-mo look...like someone else already said, I would be having a little chat with the Richland shooter about how close he just came to getting whacked for taunting.

[rainmaker]

so RD, what was actually called? there was a whistle, right?

[RookieDude]

Sorry it took so long to get back...long day.

I was reviewing some clips last night that I haven't seen yet. I put this one on because it was the most "controversial" clip I could find of the whole (yes, rocky good spot...big rivalry) Richland vs. Pasco game.

I was new T...great partners, both have been to state tournaments.

I must have been asleep during this "exchange". One of my partners talked about it at halftime...and I didn't remember it at the time. Now I do.

I can't really tell if there is much contact on the drive...we had a whistle and a foul on defender. What I can tell from the clip though...is we needed to get in there and whack the dribbler (Richland player) for his unsporting conduct. My philosophy is to not put up with any garbage like this from players. Coaches...I give some leeway. Players...no way.

Good comments....thanks.
