APG - Didn't you say (maybe last season) that the League has different rules regarding block/charges like this - specifically related to the gather that begins the trying motion, or something? Or am I making that up? Like that the defender had to be at the spot not just before the shooter left the ground, but before they gather for the try? If that was the case, I could see why a block per a rule like that.

Funny you ask as I just mentioned this in another thread. ;)

A defender establish his position before the offensive player starts his upward motion with the ball to shoot or pass.

Totally just saw that, and was about to answer my own question with your qoute from that thread.;) Thanks.

I do not have the time to fix my hands in a way where they can be open and touch my hips.

Peace

To clarify...they don't like the repeated banging of the hips and general hot dogging on the call. One of the states pet peeves.

Just want to state that this isn't par for any signaling in the NBA or Joe Crawford

And we all agree that he O player traveled at the beginning of the move to the basket. Left foot is pivot foot, clealy picks up left foot before releasing ball to start dribble. Travel. Then he charged. This is a perfect example where if the travel rule were officiated as written, we could prevent a lot of other crap--in this case, a terrible block call.

You identified the wrong foot as the pivot foot. The right foot was the pivot foot in this play per NBA rules, and a case can be made (not that I'd judge it this way) that per NCAA/NF rules, the player didn't have a pivot foot (if you determined he gathered the ball with a foot on the floor).

I had a supervisor tell me that the 'open-hand to waist' block signal for a man of my size looked very.....un-masculine (to keep things PC).

Could be so kind as to tell us how the travelling rules are written for the NBA?

Here's the play with slow motion at the end and an extra camera angle shown (the only other one they broadcasted):

Thank you, was just thinking the same thing.

And wasn't this horse beaten to death and beyond in the other thread?

Not in the NBA. Methinks you should reread the travel rule.

He did the scissor-step before dribbling so I would have a travel in my games.

Not necessarily saying it wasn't a travel...just that per NBA rules, he identified the wrong foot as the pivot.

To be blunt...

I have officiated in three parts of the country - I have belonged to 5 high school associations due to military assignments. From my collective experience, when someone is worried about this - with all the other stuff we have to worry about in high school basketball - they normally suck at officiating.
