At first, I also thought the official was pointing at the player, but after watching it again, is it possible he is pointing at the floor...as in "no shot, foul was on the floor"

Get "on the floor" out of your vocabulary.

Anyways, here's what I saw: during live action, the lead called a foul on the Michigan St. defender. During the ensuing commercial break, they went to the monitor to review for possible elbow contact by the Indiana player to the head of the defender. Since the defensive foul was already called, they ruled the elbow contact to the head of the defender a dead ball contact technical on the offensive player.

In my opinion, the elbow contact came prior to any illegal contact by the defender so the correct call should have been a flagrant 1 on the offensive player. However, that wasn't really an option once they went to the monitor since the personal foul had already been called.

On a side note, if anyone posts a video, Pat Driscoll's mechanics on that play left something to be desired. He ended up pointing repeatedly at the guy on the ground who had just been elbowed pretty hard to the face. It looked almost like an "in your face" gesture, even though I knew he was just calling a foul on him. Wish he would have pointed lower.
This post is 100% accurate. Welcome to the forum!

Interesting. I never point anymore (well, maybe twice a season or so.)

Didn't see this game, but have heard about the infamous "nutshot" from several people already.

Apparently it happened to IU #40. Thoughts?

TV showed several replays. It was an arm to the chest. There was no contact below the belt. Zeller just bent over after possibly having the wind knocked out of him.

OK. I have it DVR'd. Full disclosure, I'm an IU alum and a huge fan. I'll have a look tomorrow. Heard it was one heck of a ballgame.

(Of course Valentine and crew shot one free throw on a FF1 with a made basket on Sunday.)

Watch it again. The elbow hits in the chest, but his hand definitely hits Zellers baby maker.

I point occasionally at players. Normally to signify who the ball hit on its way out of bounds or to clarify who a foul's on in a crowd. It's a quick point and it's in no way antagonistic.

Uh, yeah. Any other preliminary signal for the foul committed would have been better than what was done, imo.

ok - bad choice of words. I'm a newbie, so what's correct? "Down"?. To me, it still looks like the official was pointing at the floor and not the player.
