Southern Miss vs. La Tech NIT video request

[JRutledge]

#1- Honestly cannot tell anything by the angle. I could see a charge if the ball handler "chicken winged" the defender, but you cannot tell that in the video and this angle specifically. I could even see a play through.

#2- I would have liked a charge here. We penalize the defense too much.

Since these plays were back-to-back, one at each end of the floor, you'd better be really sure that second one is a block.

Why?

Because that first one was a very questionable PC.

1 - I don't see a lot there, but conversely don't get enough from that angle to disagree with the call either.

2 - I've got a charge.

In the first one it really looked like the two players were almost moving in the same direction and the offensive player really didn't displace the defender all that much. An angle from the endline would have been good.

I thought #2 was a PC even after watching it again. I think the defender has both feet on the floor and is stopped when the offensive player leaves the floor.

On another note, I could tell the difference in the level of crews working the NCAA tourney and NIT games like this one. That's all I'll say for now.

Really? Not sure about that. However, I can tell the difference in the level of play.

Meaning...you'd be penalizing the same team twice because you may have felt the call at the other end wasn't great.

If there's a PC at one end and a block at the other, so be it but that thinking shouldn't be in our heads. If the call was kicked at LaTech's offensive end just make sure to get the call right at LaTech's defensive end.

He didn't say kick the call on purpose. He said 100% sure you have a block since you just had a very questionable PC foul at the other end against that team.

BNR it dawned on me when I read your response that I may not have understood APC's tone (the joys of the internet). If I did, my apologies. I just get worried when I see those words but your phrasing of "100% sure" makes sense.

However, I'd like to be 100% sure regardless of what happened at the other end

But sometimes we aren't 100% sure every time we blow the whistle on a crash. And I think the point is (which I'm sure you understand) is that if we just had a very questionable PC foul on Blue on the previous play let's not have a block on Blue on a 50/50 play immediately following.

But I agree the 2nd play was a block as the defender was still moving towards A1 when A1 was airborne.
