Call on the court = Block. Your opinion?

Was waiting for someone to mention that.

Again fellas, with Women's mechanics here it is NOT necessary to have an echo whistle from the lead with plays originating outside of the paint going to the hole. Mary has posted many bulletins on the NCAA site about this type of play. It is just danger for a blarge situation that the C would overrule anyhow!

Just so, I understand this according to NCAAW. If a play starts from the C's PCA they will be responsible for both the primary and secondary defender?

No...but this isn't really a primary/secondary defender type play. There never was a "primary" defender that got beat - this is simply a transition play, and since the drive started in C's PCA it is C's drive all the way to the basket.

It sure seems like an easy PC call to me. The defender had both feet on the floor and took the contact straight in the chest - so she obviously got to the spot first - and the contact took place while the shooter's foot was still on the floor, so you can't say the defender moved in underneath the shooter...I agree that this call was missed because the C was not in the proper position. For some reason he stopped way too high.

No, but to expand...in NCAAW if there's a one-on-one in front of you as the C - usually in a half court setup - and A1 starts going to the hoop you deal primarily with A1 and B1.

If A1 beats B1 then B2 slides over as a help defender on the block or in the lane, the L can pick that up.

All this assumes the L has closed down, of course.

Block.

(This is all prefaced with "in my own, limited, not-D1 NCAA-W opinion)

I was at the game, and I thought DeMayo had a rough night. In person I was okay with the block, but my wife noticed that Inouye was about to punch.

It was a tough call, IMO. And Inouye had a rough few minutes here and there, too, throughout. This was one of them.
