Request for APG- UNLV vs Colardo state

It looks like a foul, but I am not sure it is a foul. It looks like he could have tripped himself up and yes players fall on their own often. If I called a foul based on this angle, it would be a reasonable guess but still a guess.

since they both go down at the same time it is clear the defender caused the contact (even without all the slow mo replays). I have a foul.

Defensive foul. Not even close.

Agreed, but the fact (obvious in replay, probably not so obvious in real time) that these two begin their falls to the ground simultaneously leads me to relative certainty that the foot-to-foot contact is what caused it.

I agree with those saying 100% foul, but not with those that don't understand how it wasn't called - I doubt anyone was POSITIVE of a foul without looking at the play more than once and likely slowed down.

Well the defender should not be in that situation so calling the foul is OK by me. But looking at the video I can see a case for not calling a foul. Real time this is probably an easy call.

There are two fouls here.

One on the defensive player.

And one to someone who thinks this isn't a foul.
