What is that league teaching its officials?

Thanks for posting the link Nevada. As someone who hasn't reached the level of breaking down tape, there's certainly some very interesting and entertaining film here worthy of review and discussion (traveling, jump stops, etc.) at all levels.

It is a good resource for some video clips of plays, but an NFHS or NCAA official can't go by the conclusion that the NBA level assigns to them. One has to remember to evaluate the plays using NFHS or NCAA rules and come to a proper conclusion. As we've pointed out numerous times the criteria for judging plays is different at the various levels.

I certainly think that there is benefit to be gained from watching those videos, if done with the proper mindset.

Agreed. I think it would be excellent training for my Association (or any one for that matter) to eliminate the NBE verbiage to the right of the film and just watch the plays develop and discuss them using their level (NFHS, FIBA, NCAA) rules.

Really Nevada? I just don't see that the defender was ever in the path of the offensive player in this one. He was still moving trying to get into the path but didn't quite get there before the contact. It wasn't like he was in the path and moving to maintain position.

I agree with this. Especially after seeing the replay from the baseline camera, I had no problem with the blocking call. I didn't think the defender "beat him" to the spot.

Agreed. The defender was still moving into the dribbler when contact was made, as the dribbler had changed direction to move around him.

That's fine. I'm sure it's not the first one you've ever missed.

It's at least the third.
