What Do You Have?
You know the drill...assume this happens at the level you call

I've seen similar plays no called...with the "right guy with the ball"

I haven't watch an NBA game this season so I can't say if this is called for superstars or not. But I do recollect over the years Kobe complaining about a lot of no-calls on similar shots so I can't say your cliche' holds true.

I'm a rookie, and I'm leaning towards no call but,
Is blue is "late" to the spot of the shooter's try and not facing up to him either (:28 of the video)? Or does any of that matter? |

From my standpoint, defender had LGP and verticality, and the shooter came into him. I have nothing.
Okay, slightly different sitch from a game I worked this week: A-1 goes airborne. Defender B-2 has his spot in the lane, but facing in another direction (turned about a 90 degrees from the path of the shooter). Instinctively, the defender jumps, and has clear verticality, but is not facing the shooter when contact is made (shooter's torso into defender's side). Blocking?

Man, you gave me a thumbs down?
Hey, I'm all for a no call here and maybe have that in hs or college, but you can't tell me you haven't seen guys go to the line on a play like this. Looking at it closely, I can see some contact from Gasol on upper body and I do believe he is still moving, albeit slightly, and from his shoulder up is leaning towards shooter. Offensive player has jumped into him, I'll agree, however, some of that is a natural shooting motion that takes a shooter from the spot he starts his shot from TOWARDS the basket. Sure his intent is to draw the foul, that's why he takes it quickly to the deep corner, to entice the defender to follow, then comes back a bit with his shot, hoping defender has over committed. You began this post, I assume, asking for opinions (I didn't think it was today's pop quiz) then you thumb me down for giving mine
