Syracuse Dunk vs. Louisvile
 

At the 00:23 mark of the 2nd half Syracuse player dunks the ball to put the Orangemen up and then lands with a belly flop. No foul called on the play.

Can we get a video clip of the play? Watching it on plays of the day on TV it looks like he was hit in the head by B1 during the dunk.

The replay has the L signaling a foul and the player at the line.

There is no foul called by the lead...I just cut the subsequent action afterward.

He did stick his fist up in the air and pull it down awfully fast.

I think the C's gotta get something there if it exists. The L can't see the contact from behind and would be completely guessing.

Funny enough, my partner grabbed one exactly like this on Friday night in a 2-person HS game. Breakaway, 2-handed dunk, hit to the back of the head -- I would've been guessing and I wasn't sure if there was a hit -- I'm so glad he was an active trail who followed the play and was willing to come in and get that foul.

I thought people said that the C cannot make this call? ;)

Peace

Jeff:

I agree with you, :D. While the L can get this (not maybe this one because the foul was from the backside of the play), this particular play is the type of play that the C is meant to get.

In transition, we *all* gotta step up when needed.

BNR - you know better!!!!!!
 

BNR -

THis is a BE game......you know enough people in the area to know that in the BE
they don't fish in other ponds, ball in basket = play on. Not sayin it is right. Guarantee you in Big South there would have been a DW......personally I have a no call... But what do I know...

I do not think this was a BE issue at all. I think this was a play where it was probably thought there was little contact or the contact that took place did not cause the falling. I had to see it several times to even think that a foul should be called because it looked like if he hung on the rim he would not have fell. Not saying that is right, but in live action I can see the hesitation.

Peace
