As for the block, the defender clearly took out the shooter with her body as she was getting the ball. Clean up top does not mean you get to flatten the shooter in the process.
I have had that happen to me a couple of times. One I called the other was a partner. But that has been over 10 years ago, so it is rare for sure.

Clean up top means you get to the ball cleanly first. That did not happen on this play. There should always be expected contact on a blocked shot when the players are different in size and strength.

What official is looking to give out technicals period? The fact of the matter is a coach is not usually going this ape **** period...much less at the end of the half.

I watched the block play in slow motion at least 6 or 7 times immediately after the play. Clean up top - hand met ball, then the contact with the body. Guard sprinting to bucket on dribble drive meet help side defense.

Block occurred first unaided by body contact. Foul for body contact on airborne shooter before returning to the floor. Push or block. Either one works.

Wow

The officials really messed up on this one. First, the missed call on the shot was terrible. Then to not call a T on Geno when he was at half court with his assistant having to pull him back was inexcusable. I don't know what the officials were looking at after the play.

The other question I have is how close was the other UConn assistant to getting a T after Geno's T. I can't read lips, but I'm pretty sure she wasn't telling the ref "great call" when she starts chewing the ref out.

Even a late whistle from the T would have been preferrable to the no-call. In the replay looking at the contact from the baseline, you can see the T and he's got a pretty good angle on this play.

A call from the T was going to be tough on this one. If the contact was more towards the middle of the lane I'd agree with you but with the play taking place clearly in the C's primary the T probably felt that was too much of a reach.
