You Make The Call

[APG]

Block or charge

[bainsey]

Flop.

Wow did the calling official send that up north?

[CLH]

No call...offensive player tries to slip the defender and the contact is marginal at best

[Kelvin green]

Contact maybe marginal but two playrs going to the floor like this probably deserves a call, the defense was not great and the contact changed shot... I think I'd make it a block

Icing.

Plus how else do we deter defenders from flopping... Block, score it, 1 shot!

With all due respect...you state the contact is marginal, but you would call a foul...it's one of the other, if its marginal, no foul, if its a block its not marginal.

(kinda like how something can be new and yet still improved, lol)

Second, two players falling on the ground, does not a foul make. Just because a play is ugly does not mean a foul occurred. "If two players go down, I'm calling a foul" is one of the "personal philosophies" that we have been trying to get away from in the last few years.

One might ask where is the word "flop" defined in the rule book? Contact is either illegal or marginal/incidental. Just because a player flops does not mean illegal contact can not occur.

Now the only other definition one could also use for flop is faking being fouled (NFHS) which is a technical, but Ive only seen it called once in my life and told to only use in the most extreme, Ray Charles obvious situation.

As for the play, I have lateral movement by the defender after the offensive player is airborne and a blocking foul. I think the lateral movement, by the defender, caused the offensive player to clip the defender with his foot.

Block/Charge with two bodies down is not a no-call.

The defender may have obtained a LGP but A1's final path wan't into it. B1's knee was extended outside of his frame and into A1's path and B1 was was still sliding towards and into A1's path after A1 was airborne.


Block...and I don't even think it was that close.
