Nuggets Play

Any chance we can see 6:41 in the 4th quarter, Denver vs. Minnesota.

There's a restricted arc play that I wanted to get people's insight on, granted this isn't used for High School yet, but wanted thoughts on timing of whistle and application of restricted arc.

I could have lived with a no call here, but if there is going to be a call based on the RA as I understand it, it would be on the defense.

What did you think of the timing of the whistle?

Not at all, I didn't mind the call. I personally thought the contact was marginal, but well within my limited knowledge of the restricted arc rule. So I had no problem with the block. What struck me as weird, was just the timing of the whistle.

Anyone else think the whistle was just unusually late?

I honestly do not know what that has to do with this play? It seemed fine to me what the official's timing was, I just think it was marginal contact looking at the replay, but I do see why something was called in real time. But I would hope I would not make that call considering no one seemed to be displaced and the defense simply stood there for the most part and prevented an easy shot. The only thing I would possibly question is if he made the call because of the arm contact but it appears he called a block instead.

Hmmm I guess the calling official & myself are the only ones that saw the defender take 2 steps to his right & walk under the airborne shooter while in the arc
