Radio still travels with the TL Hanna High School sports teams. I got to meet him last year before one of their games. It is commonly known as an official here that when you have TL Hanna one of your pregame duties is to go shake hands with Radio. |
The more I watch this, the more I see that this is a horrible call. I'm surprised there's no indication of Coach B's disagreement.

I could possibly see judging this a no-call, but a block is just the wrong call. |

On first view, I thought it was an easy PC call. After viewing it again to see if I missed anything, I'd still go with PC.
|
Plus they are lining up for the free throw on the offensive end, so it had to be a block call. Looks like PC to me. What a leaper, though - he almost kicks the defender in the face!

What I got is an official who doesn't know wtf he is doing (and at the college level). Judgement is one thing (and I dont think his is good) but his mechanics are non existent. How is his partner supposed to know what is going on. Also a call like that can have some kind of emotion to sell it as it is close and could potentially (not in this case) go either way.
And the whole time the only way I knew it was a block and a shooting foul was because the players were lining up. |
I got nothing. Neither player was displaced by the contact and the defender seemed to flop in my opinion.
I think there was no signal because it looked like the Center was looking to make sure his partner did not have a whistle. I do not see this as a big deal. None of us are perfect. |
