Gonzaga K-State charge foul

[Sharpshooternes]

Wondering what your thoughts are on the charge call with 4:52 left in the second half, if someone can post the video.

Looks like the L got it right, imho.

Same here, I'm not sure I see where there's a question on it. Looks like defender even got a nice elbow to boot...

Nice call Kevin!

Why is the 3-point line two colors? (the other "additional markings" I (think I) understand).

What were your thoughts? Did you see sometime differently than the Lead did on this play?

I definately think the L got the Charge correct. Wondering if anyone would have got the block by Black 20 from trail first? This happened to be the fifth foul on the ball handler.

I don't think there was a block by B20 -- especially at that level.

Short version: it's not, it's two different lines 3/4 inch apart.

Long version:

The Battle in Seattle game (Gonzaga vs big-name opponent at Seattle's Key Arena) has for several years been played on the WNBA Seattle Storm's floor. Which is funny since Seattle University has a floor that's used here with only NCAA markings, but I'm sure it's a marketing thing of some kind, so whatever.

Up through the season that concluded this past fall, the WNBA's three-point distance has been 20 ft 6.25 in. NCAA is 20 ft 9 in. The line is, of course, 2" thick, which leaves a gap of 0.75 inch between the two lines, but from TV (and from my seats about 6 rows into the upper deck) they're on top of each other.

This should be the last time we see this exact setup, as the WNBA will adopt the FIBA three-point distance of 6.75 meters (22 ft, 1.75 in) next season.

charge....no brainer

BTW, I'm a GU alum...both in the building and on film I've got PC here. Kelly's got to be smarter than to drive blindly around a defender like that, he flat ran over the second man. Correct call.

All right. Sounds good. Would you all have the same call at the high school level? ie no block by 20 and then the charge?

Absolutely. Why wouldn't we?

I see what you're talking about now. But it's not a possible Block, it would be a Hand-check. And an argument could be made that B20 did commit such a foul.
