Charge

I have a Hurdling Foul, 15 yards and reply the dunk attempt.

I can live with the no call on this as the contact took place mostly after the dunk. So to me the contact is mostly incidental as it did not prevent the dunk from happening and the play was basically over. I guess I can see a block or charge call here, but I would need another look or angle to see if the defender was not moving sideways when the player went airborne.

Hogwash. The only contact after the dunk was B hitting the ground after being illegal contacted.

Hogwash?

The contact or the action that put the player on the floor mostly took place after the ball was through the hoop. If you want to come in and say that is a foul, fine. I can see why it was not called and it might have been the judgment of the official that this was going to be a block and called nothing because the play was completed. Which would have made it incidental contact by rule if no one was put at an disadvantage.

I am really not looking for your approval either way. And I do not need to color the font to make that statement. 😉

I have illegal contact above the shoulders by A1. It appears that B2 may have a possible concussion. Wave off the basket and I have an intentional foul on A1. 😀

Well no one uses Hogwash where I am from. They use stronger language. Then again, I honestly could give a damn what you think on this and many plays.

Call your game and I will call mine.

If that was me in the Lead I probably would have called a Block. Then I would have seen the tape and I say I got the play wrong.

Of course, I'm what's wrong with basketball officiating in this nation.

Officiate the defense...very very close, but looks like a block to me. Defender doesn't establish LGP before the shooter jumps. Add a little bit of shoulder nudge by the defender and that seals it for me. Then again, I had the benefit of watching it 6 times before making 'my call'.

That is why I would likely no call this. The defender did not keep the dunker from completing the dunk. So no advantage. Rule 4-27 always comes to mind on these kinds of plays.

Good thought.....thanks for the reference.

The infamous blue font, and a "NE Illinois" reference, in the same thread. We are really getting to be wild and crazy Forum members.

just another ref

If the defender is late getting there, and I think he is, I agree with the no call. Hasn't the poor kid suffered enough?

I'm confused about this play, and I'm at work and don't have my books. In the case of a dunker, is the ball dead when it passes through the hoop, or does the ball remain live until the airborne shooter returns to the floor?

I talked to Joey Crawford and he emphatically signaled "BLOCK" 🙂
