How so?

I've already said that I have a hold on the defender. But as you know, this thing of ours is all about getting angles...I'm just acknowledging that given a different angle, I may just very well change my opinion. No different from when one sees a block/charge play where we get the center/slot's angle and it looks like a charge...yet get a better angle from the baseline and are able to pick up on late lateral movement from a defender making it a block.

When the player moves from the offensive players right side to the left side, the defensive player reaches over the top of the offensive players left arm, this is not illegal. What's illegal is when the offensive player starts to reach to hold the defensive player and the defensive player than grabs and the pulls the offensive player.

I think the problem is that every official is always told "get the first foul, get the first foul" so now you are looking at trying to find that first foul at the earliest point. If each player had backed away after the 13 second mark, we would all say, "I am not calling that one" but since you obviously have something later on, you're trying to back up and find the first one.

Yes except this first foul was an obvious grab of the waist to re-align the offensive player. It all goes down hill from there.

If the offensive player was the first to commit a foul I agree but this starts with the defense grabbing the offensive player.

It looks to me the offensive player clearly backs out the defender and then the defender tries to get around and then he is held by swinging arm to prevent him from getting around. Grabbing the arm is a reaction to the first action.

I think the defender grabbing the waist and turning him at 13/14 seconds starts the whole thing.

Offense. The little contact by B gets played through all the time up here. A's actions are a foul though.

Holding a player by the waist and guiding them is little contact? By the time the whistle is blown its pretty much a double foul, but Im auto calling that hold in a Varsity game. Just like I auto call 2 hands on a player (especially the ball handler). I don't even entertain advantage/disadvantage in these situations.

Sometimes its best to call the obvious infraction and not apply to many different principles of officiating to stay out of future problems.

In these officials defense it is two man so that hold would have to be called by the trail who has ball responsibilities.

This is a great opportunity for the Lead to come over and officiate on the strong side.

I am not seeing this wrist grab you keep talking about. I see a offensive player backing out a guy and then holding him to keep from getting around him. Those are displacements, not a grab that did not affect the movement of a player.

What was white's right arm doing around the 13 second mark?
