Josh,
I saw the slo-mo from the top.

I emailed #2's father. Based on his answer it doesn't appear he even discussed the play with his son afterwards. Probably too busy making arrangements for his trip to Detroit :

"Thanks. I believed there was (some) contact..."

At least someone said it and I wasn't crazy I don't know if that is a compliment or an insult to confuse you all It's been such a long thread it difficult to keep the "he said,he said" straight.

I really am flabbergasted that anyone who looks at that video cannot see the contact that causes the fall - whether or not you believe it's a foul.

2)You seem to have trouble listening to any viewpoint on most things other than your own. It really is difficult to learn anything while lacking that ability.

1) The only D1 official that I am sure is currently posting on this forum has already gone on record as saying that he did not see a foul on this play. And another poster in this thread, who was a good enough D2/D3 official to be selected to work a national Final Four, has also said that his view also is that no foul occurred. Having said that, there are many other posters who may not work at the D1 level responding to this thread who are obviously very knowledgable officials. Some agree; some disagree. The bottom line seems to be that whether a foul actually occurred or not is highly debatable.

2) What isn't debatable is that very few posters to date seem to agree with your past response to the point of this thread. The point was whether the lead should go so far out of his primary to make what is obviously from this debate a very iffy, borderline call. And seeing that hardly anybody has agreed so far with your viewpoint that the lead has to make this call, it seems that YOU are the one that is having trouble listening to another viewpoint, another viewpoint that almost unanimously rejects your hypothesis.

Do YOU officiate at the D1 level? Have you ever officiated at the D1 level? If not, what criteria are you using to tell us what D1 officials are thinking or should be calling?

What level are YOU currently working at? And how long have you been working at that level?

I await your answers.

For the record we have had a few individuals that are D1 officials that have posted here. Not just the person that everyone talks about or was here the longest. And even one I know worked the NCAA Men’s Tournament.
