After actually watching it, I really can't understand the no-call. Unless they both miraculously tripped over themselves at exactly the same moment, this one calls itself.

Looks like the lead wants to give the ball back to the offense, but can't justify it since he didn't call the foul. He should have just called the foul.

"Just give the ball back to XYZ instead of whistling the foul" has kinda gone to the wayside. And I don't think coaches liked much anyway. Now folks are looking at it as 2 missed calls--missed foul; called the ball out on the wrong team.

Possible, I don't use it much anymore, and never in a situation like this.

This is one situation where an educated guess is necessary. No eyes are fast enough to see the foot step on the heel. It's still a foul.

Agreed.

I have passed on trips before because I couldnt/didnt see the contact so I can understand a no call.

But in this situation with the player having a clear path to the basket and the way they fell, I think the foul HAS to be called here. And with the advantage of replay its an OBVIOUS foul.

But again, this is a spot where an educated guess is necessary.

+1

A good instance of looking for disruption to RSQB...in real time, the ball handler suddenly deviated from his line and lost his balance(and hit the hardwood immediately thereafter)...guessing that the defender caused it is going to be right 90% of the time. Call the foul. Doubt anyone other than a real hard-head coach is going to dispute it.

Foul. The end.
