What if he moved backwards while the player was in the air?

Bad M&M Guy.

Aww come on man, Elmer's couldn't even use the last equine we flagellated.

Oh, I know; I think my brain is just shutting down for the evening, and I posted during a weak moment.

As far as the OP, it was a pretty simple, correct call. I wish the poster would come back and respond to our comments. But, then again, I figure (s)he is back on the fan boards so (s)he can commiserate with only people that agree.

That would have put him in the RA and made it a block!

Unfortunately, that's not really true. Now, it may seem like all I ever do is argue with you, and that's not my intent. But in the case of NCAA rules, and the RA, the secondary defender can establish an initial guarding position outside the RA, and if contact occurs in the defender's torso as the defender is retreating, it would still be a charge.

But the effort was certainly appreciated.

I was really only joking in reference to the other recent topic about a defender moving back relative to LGP.....but twisted to "RA" just for kicks.

Ok.

And, (as expected): shut up.

As this was a secondary defender who came from the edge of the C's primary while the Lead was watching the first match-up, does anyone else think that the C could certainly have had a whistle on this?

I did look closely at the C and he gets stuck behind a couple of players and has to lean to peek around them, definitely not the best look.

Thankfully, the Lead nailed the call. I was able to pause the video at 19 seconds with the defender in perfect LGP prior to the offensive player leaving the floor or the contact occuring.
