More from Kansas/Iowa State

Rich mentioned this play in one of the closed threads. Sorry it took so long. My recording equipment wasn't behaving.

Same official (O'Neill) really missed one earlier (a block that he called a PC foul).

It looks as though O'Neill just watched the shooter the whole way as opposed to looking at the defense (i.e., where the shooter was going). It definitely seems like there was some hesitation on his part with the call.

Woof. That is a bad call. If Self hadn't already picked up a T he probably would have there.

I think this is a harder play to referee in real-time. When we have video, it is a lot more clear, but the correct foul was a block.

Someone else mentioned that the lead official picked up the defender late and I agree. I think he isn't wide enough as lead to get a look at the whole play.

Yeah, it is not really close under the actual rules. But how many times do we see a block called on a defender that was nothing but in a LGP. These are tough calls, so I can give him a pass on this one considering how these are normally called no matter what the defender does.

Peace
