Championship Game Possible Flagrant 1

[APG]

Some discussion in the chat room when this occurred. Upgrade nor not? Wind up, impact, (no follow through)?

.....and why no review?

I know I am a Kansas fan, but this was nothing more than a PF committed against a player in the Act of Shooting. Sometimes collisions occur that just look bad and this was one of them. The shooter switched the ball from his right hand to his left hand as the defender coming from the shooter's right tried to block the shot. I would have expected the same call if it had been at the other end of the court. No replay needed.

I thought it was worth taking a look at, but hey, I'm at home & they're still working.

If the NCAA truly wishes to protect airborne players, then this foul must be deemed a Flagrant 1. The contact is a big swing by the defender and he isn't near the ball. He really has no chance of blocking the shot cleanly.

PS I'm sure that will be the minority opinion.

I'm with you on the swing. It didn't look like a legit block attempt to me either.

I had a flagrant 1 as well.
