I can get in your way at the last moment and it be a blocking foul.

Or not. Thus the word "kinda"

I think it is a matter if distance. At best, he was 50' from the sideline crash...at the far sideline.

How do you come to that conclusion. He is only visible at that spot just as the shot goes up. There is nothing in the video that tells you how long he was there.

One can only set up early and receive the play as Lead in 3-man.
There seemed to be a lot of players between anywhere he might have been and the crash. Perhaps he just didn't have a clear view.


The inconsistencies in what is expected of him on this play are just silly. Why is it that he should have reached 50+ feet with perhaps a questionable view to make one call but going 20 feet with a clear view is bad??? Seems more like a case of armchair QB than a realistic and fair analysis.

Personally, I think this is the trail's to get -- he may have been focusing on the other defender, though, and all of a sudden someone appeared and got run over. I can see the T not getting this for that reason. But then the L would've had to. Somebody had to.

Here's an idea - a third official would have.
