Now that was a "play on the ball" while chasing down the player with a clear path (advantageous position)

Absolutely terrible PC call by Pat Driscoll at the 59.9 mark on Harrison Barnes. You would think a D-1 Regional Championship official would know a flop when he sees it. C'mon Pat, you gotta be better than that.

Can you tell me where I can find the clause stating that there cannot be illegal contact even though a player "flops?"

I only use the term "flop" when the contact by the player in motion is not illegal. APG understands me. We have bonded over these videos.

The accepted definition of a "flop" is faking contact when there is very minimal or no contact.

There is no such statement. There was also no contact, just the defender extending his forearms toward Barnes cut and then flopping backwards.

Haha...you're right. The play in question though, the player embellished contact that in of itself was not illegal and the official bought it. Not the first time in history, won't be the last.

Officiating has been pretty good, other than that call. As Bill Walton would say, "HOOOOORIBLE!"

I've seen some questionable footwork both ways in this game but you aren't going to get a travel call on anyone today.
