I think it is a stupid point to make to show a graining video to try to prove when contact did or did not take place. Fouls are by rule caused by displacement, not the exact moment of contact.

Again people. If you want to call a foul here by my guest. And why you call a foul is also up to you. Life is too short to try to do things for why others do things. My judgment will be judge on its own merits and I am OK with that.

Defender looks to have been displaced!

the offense did not ever have head and shoulders past the defender, therefore the onus is on the offense to avoid contact, unless the defender moved forward - which could be the case here. you have to determine when/if the defender ever had LGP - LGP exists any time a defender is facing and has both feet on the floor and can be from any distance. the offense appears to have gone through the defender with heavy contact.

in HS it does not matter if the ball went through or entered the basket, you can still have a player control foul regardless.

the defender is in the path of the shooter prior to the shooter leaving the floor.

the knee is not relevant as most dunks/layups of this nature, starting off one foot, has the knee in this position.

i would be curious to know what the crew talked about - no one put a whistle on this play ;)

Again, was he legal? He has to be in a legal position to have a foul in his favor.

Still more inclined to not call anything on this play at all levels I work.

"After The Ball Went Through The Hoop" ???
 

So does JRutledge's statement, "The contact or the action that put the player on the floor mostly took place after the ball was through the hoop" really make any difference in interpreting this play?

If I have the defender where he needs to be and there's a knee in the face -- that's going to have me shipping it the other way.

If the defender isn't where he's supposed to be, I'm calling a block.

Knee in the face + player going down hurt + player possibly stepping on the defender does not equal "nothing" in my game.

No

Only for people that like to make up their own rules.

I guess 4-27 is not a rule? Or is it because you do not like people that do not agree with you? ;)

Something tells me the latter.

Peace

So why bother allowing a personal foul on contact with an airborne shooter after the ball is through the basket.

That has nothing to do with the timing of the contact relative to the time that the ball goes through the hoop....which is the point being discussed even though it wasn't even what happened either.

I do not disagree the timing of the contact is really irrelevent. I think this should not be a call. I want a little more contact than that to have a foul honestly. If he did not want someone to jump over him, go further out from the basket. If the contact was lower on his body than maybe.

Peace

Anything can happen.


A1 has a breakaway, pursued by B1. Just inside the free throw line, B1 makes a desperate lunge to attempt the strip. He slips and goes to the floor and catches a knee in the face. A1 stumbles slightly, then rights himself and completes the layup. B1 remains on the floor.

Perhaps an official's timeout, but otherwise this sounds like it could easily be a no call.

If anyone evaluating here watched us no-call this, there would be an a** reaming after the game. I can't even take you seriously anymore. You take the opposite side of stuff like this just to entertain yourself.

You must not have much experience with Rut. He doesn't care what anyone else calls or doesn't call in their games (Or so he says), but he'll spend hours on here being the contrarian and arguing with people about why he's right and they're wrong. We don't all have the wisdom and experience he does, just ask him.

In the words of Dave Hester: "Yeeeeep"

You don't like people who don't agree with you, which is evident by the fact that you spend a good amount of time arguing with everyone when you're the only dissenting opinion. Even after you were proven wrong about the play being over before the contact, you still held firm.

For the record, I would probably have a PC foul here. Even if I called a block, I would feel better about it than having no whistle at all just because it might upset everyone watching the pretty dunk.

This is called "figjam". I'll let you figure out what the letters stand for.
