Nothing in the rule says that getting hit in the face is an automatic foul. Just like it would not be with an elbow if a player is legally doing what they are allowed to do. So getting hit in the face is not a good reason to simply call a foul.

Better answer:

"You know, you're right...I said the contact took place after the dunk, and I was clearly wrong."

No, contact in itself is not a foul. Again there are rules at play here, not some issue of when or if contact took place.

So you call a hand-check at the moment of contact? Or do you call a hand-check when the contact displaces or moved the ball handler? RSBQ anyone?

The issue is not when contact first took place, it is when the contact displaced the player.

And if this upsets you, then when you work your games you stop the tape and then look at different angles and make a call. For the rest of us we will get one shot at the call and decide when contact caused displacement. And the issue of a knee hitting someone is the most irrelevant part of this discussion honestly. I guess we are going to penalize him because he can jump?

You said the contact happened after the dunk.

The video clearly shows otherwise.

And you still won't say your comment was incorrect.

Not gonna split hairs with you, because I know you'd rather disembowel yourself with a spoon than admit you made a mistake. Even though I agreed with your ultimate application of the rules.

I'm done.

Whatever.

OK, then the displacement did not take place until after the dunk. Is that better? Does that make you feel better. And the fact you are worried about such a minor point tells me everything I need to know (while you agreed with my take on the play). Some people love to be so childish on this site sometimes.
