Another opinion poll

[jeffpea]

your options are either block or PC....the contact affected both the defender (who went down) and the offensive player who lost the ball...contact taken in the chest/torso area....

I vote PC foul.

If you don't like that call, I can understand, however a call (block or charge) MUST be made...you can't pass on this.

Why MUST a call be made?

Well, must is too strong a word. I'm passing on this as are many people in this thread.

Just cause a player goes down and/or the shot is affect doesn't mean it's a foul. Good defense alters shots. Lack of balance causes players to go down.

I do think the trail has happy feet, though. He's "sprinting" away from the basket as the kid is starting his drive.

That Trail looks pretty fit and that he can "get up". Stay and officiate!

Why can't we pass on this? The contact looked minmal and looked like the defense was trying to "sell" the call. Also the defense had LGP and was straight up. The contact wasnt severe enough and therefore a no call is probably the best option.

I have a block...defense doesn't have LGP in my opinion. If you look at his feet, he is still moving sideways into the path of the shooter.

I agree...I originally had PC, but you can see that defender is still moving to his left to illegally block the dribbler....Block call....

[Bad Zebra]

I watched the video 6 times and still couldn't decide what I wanted to call...did defender have LGP? Can't tell for sure even with the benefit of replay...Did defender flop? Maybe, maybe not...Airbourne shooter and PC? Again, maybe, maybe not. Thus, if it's not obvious and apparent in real time, I'd leave it alone and play on. No Call. Seems like that's what the crew did here.

[tomegun]

I have a block on the play.

I would also ask the trail if he is getting paid more money for that fake hustle.

I'd love to have the C's look at this one. Instead we get this look, which makes us guess a bit.

I am not convinced it "must" be made. It is hard to tell if the contact is what caused the fall or the player was off balance. Again, I do not disagree based on what I am seeing if a call is made, but I think I can make a case for nothing being called also.

Peace

I have a block b/c the defender moved after A1 went airborne, but only if I'm the Lead pinching the paint. Trail and Slot were good in no-calling the play.
