You know the drill...assume this happens at the level you call

rec league girls can't take that shot

Seriously, that's a foul...if it's Kobe or Lebron...

Gasol was vertical and Ellis threw his hip into him. Good no call IMO.

Great no call.

you know you've seen less than that called in the NBA...if it's the "right guy" with the ball.

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

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?

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

APG said "assume this happens at the level you call."

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 don't watch enough NBA to comment on the veracity of your claim, but you know full well it's not about the level of contact. I've called less than that at the hs level, and I've no-called more than that. It's not about "less" or "more."
