Weird Play -- FGCU/Lipscomb

Regarding 2s vs. 3s: I think those reviews may happen a bit too often as well but for the sake of getting things right sacrificing a minute or two is worth it.

It's only a problem for fans. I have a hunch that the coaches and players, overall, like the new process.

Correct decision of FF1 upon monitor review.
Live the play was difficult because of the angle the official had towards the players and the fact that the second elbow was the one which contacted the defender's throat. Had it been the lead arm, I believe that the C has an easy whistle, but after the left arm passes through and then the ball, it is hard for the official to have a look at the trailing arm. The ball is probably in the way.

My thoughts exactly.

I am not sure how we can have a no-call on the play. Then the official compounds the matter by killing the fast break of the offense. Given the severity of the contact and the NEED for a foul on the play, I am going to let this transgression slide. Ordinarily, you cannot stop a offensive team's fast break.

Read the post above. You don't see how he can miss the SECOND elbow catching the player?

I swear, some people officiate really good on the Internet.

I get all my plays right online.

Honestly, I don't understand how there is no call here. It is the only play the C is refereeing and you have offensive players elbows moving outside his frame, contact to the head/torso and the defender falls like a sack of potatoes. This is a foul any way you slice it.

The only thing I can think of is that he let the play get right in his lap and got surprised.
