I'm looking for when his foot left the floor as opposed to when the defender got set. Almost impossible to do in this day and age. At best, you are guessing in HS if it is close. Go back and review that video that we discussed at great length.
The NBA acknowledge the shortcomings here, where there is many. The ability for the referee to get this call right, the safety of the players involved, and the notion that running underneath a player about to score with the ball is considered good defensive strategy. NOT! Add everything up, we only need the offensive player to have started his final motion or movement to the basket. This will aid the referee to successfully make the right judgment call. Looking for when the offensive players feet left the floor as oppsed to the defenders feet getting set is ridiculous. Things are happening way too fast for me to adequately see all that. The defense can either go for the shot block or the ball, or get the hell out the way. Going for the block and causing a collision, is whacked!!!!

could someone please post that link to the OS-English translation tool? I can't seem to find it.
