Hold on the defender...but I' could buy a hold on the offensive player if I saw the play from another angle...as long as one doesn't cop out to calling a double foul.

You are right either way the discussion goes. Defense = "that is what I said", Offense = "I said I could buy that" I guess our videos are of different angles because the video I'm looking at clearly has the offensive player displacing the defender and then using his left arm to keep the defender from getting into a 3/4 post defense position. That is the first action that I see could be called a foul.

We don't really know what had happened in this game so far, but if that post player is a legit player on the block the Lead should get into a position to see that play. If I'm not mistaken this is a two-man game and the Trail is looking at the on-ball matchup right?

If the defensive player was pushing/displacing that offensive player like that it would be called a foul instantly by most. But for some reason the offensive player is basically displacing the defender all over the floor and nothing is called.

My opinion, get that hook and displacement by the offense early in the play.

another +1

I have a question for those that would go with a defensive foul. If the post player received the ball - a pass to his right hand, as he is holding off the defender with his left hand, do you think that would be an advantage?
