Nice acting job.

Disagree. The two players' momentums were going two different directions, and it looked as though the defender held on just a touch too long, and that was what spun Pressey. I'm no physicist, just my opinion.

the defender did rip pressey hard but it looked like pressey spun and made it look worse

Looks to me like Pressey is trying to get a shot off as the foul happened. I think that makes it look worse as the two players are going different directions.

Do you guys feel that the UCLA player made a legitimate attempt to play the ball?

Let's just say he didn't make the most legitimate attempt to play the ball that he could have. The swan dive by Pressey aside, I can't recall seeing an F1 called on a play like that in an NCAA game, men or women. An intentional in a HS game is another story.

I've got a common foul. Defense is reaching for the ball with both hands to make sure they get the ball or the contact on a reach to earn a foul call. Ball carrier leaves his feet and throws himself off balance to sell a shot attempt on contact ends up getting hit from both sides while twisting himself off the floor. Fact that he lands hard doesn't make it intentional or flagrant since the contact is not what is sending him to the floor hard.

I have a flagrant 1. No attempt to play ball by white defender. The illegal contact by white #3 causes the offensive player to hit the floor hard.
