If they'd call this, they'd stop doing it. Not that a no-call is horrible here, as it's pretty danged close. Still....

Maybe in our games that would fly over, but what if you are at that level with super slow motion replay and it shows he clearly did not touch the ball? Then the officials would be ripped apart for some time and it would be seen as worse if this helped "decide the game." I think that goes into their thinking that most of us do not have the the privilege to even think about.

Peace

My understanding is those guys get stung equally for incorrect calls and incorrect no-calls.

You are right, they do get pointed out for correct and incorrect calls. But something tells me this would not be one of those calls that would be considered that overwhelmingly wrong.

I honestly think that if I saw this play while officiating the game, I would think it was a variation on an "alley oop" pass and think "Wow. Nice dunk." I don't think Offensive BI would even enter my mind. Of course, I would only count it as a 2, not a 3...but that's why I'm not working those games!

He touches the ball on the downward flight and helps guide it into the basket. That's illegal at the NFHS and NCAA levels. Bentaylor will probably be along to tell us that the NBA has an exception for the momentum of a jumping player though.

This is a missed call, but the speed at which it happens makes it understandable. The officials need to be certain in order to put a whistle on this, especially late in a close game.
