From the VCU vs. Kansas game:

Was this player in the act of shooting? Should continuous motion have applied here? This was a play that preceded the technical on the VCU head coach Shaka Smart. IMO, I thought he was in the act of shooting.

Play from post 180: I don't see a hold, but the L might have had a better look at the right hand.

More important: you guys are blowing whistles in the chat room? :eek:

Hold in the post (VCU/KU)
 

Not only was it a foul, Taylor is lucky he didnt' get rung up afterwards.

Play in post 181:

Hard to tell: as you know, we can call it a shooting foul if we judge that the foul prevented the release of the shot. I don't think the contact was anywhere near the ball, so I can understand not calling it a shooting foul, absent a release of the shot.

Act of Shooting? (VCU/KU)
 

I didn't see that much of the game. Appears to be act of shooting but there was also #21 set up for a wide open 3-pointer. Had that post player kicked the ball out on previous plays?

And another KU player running his mouth. KU players didn't acquit themselves very well this weekend in San Antonio behavior wise.

Looks like a hold to me. It does not look like he gets to the ball without doing that. Good call in my opinion.

Peace

Act of shooting IMO. Not sure how it was not called that way in the first place.

Peace

Block/Charge (VCU/KU)
 

That's a flop.

No, it wasn't just a flop, imho. The defender stuck his left knee into the the offensive player's legs and caused him to stumble. That takes it from just being a flop to being a block. I thought this was a great call.

Must not have been obvious. :D

Injury in Butler Regional Semi Final
 

Can't find this play anywhere on this thread. Remember when the Butler kid hurt his knee on a rebound in the 2nd half and fell to the ground in pain. It looked like to me he had the ball when he landed on the ground. Does anyone think that should have been called a travel. He didn't ask for a T.O. .........thoughts??????

180...Hold...the defender "off" arm was wrapped around the opponent's waist giving him leverage to get to the ball.

Block.... steeping forward and sticking the knee out.

Yup. Getting knocked out looks good on 'em. And I gotta say Shaka coached rings around their resident genius too imo.
