Alabama vs Tennessee - 1/26/13

[OKREF]

Travel, and no foul.

Foul. The shooter may have jumped towards he defender but also towards the basket.....a completely reasonable way for a shooter to jump. The defender was no where close to being legal.

I agree he was not legal, but that also does not mean the shooter is extra special protection when you jump into someone. Not saying that I completely disagree with the point of view that this could be a foul, but when you jump into someone and they are not moving directly into you, I can see the no call. It is like the guy sticking out his leg and trying to get contact with the leg to get a foul. It is a little cheesy IMO.

A foul here would be nothing more than bailing out the shooter. After he traveled, too.

Or the other viewpoint could be the offensive player did a good job of inducing the player into a position that wasn't legal and you're bailing out the defender.

All of this, of course, being independent of any action that occurred before the shot.

Could be. Wasn't my first reaction, however. I only watched the video once.
