Duke-Louisville blocking clip (Hairston 1st half)

[twocentsworth]

A few seconds AFTER this video, CBS showed a replay from the camera located above the basket and CLEARLY showed Hairston illegally moving to his right prior to/during the contact.

This was correctly called.

Keep in mind that each call/judgement an official makes is predicated on his view/his positioning. Doug Shows had a different and much better view of this play (as confirmed by the replay angle from above the basket). The view that an official has is the difference between getting the call correct and getting it wrong.

All fine and good except that nothing about moving right is illegal or makes the defender's position illegal (the shooter was still on the floor up to the point of contact).

Incorrect call.

A player that has LGP can move left, right or back, not forward. The defender is not required to remain planted.

You are absolutely correct.

Except for the part about the Duke defender having LGP prior to the UL player leaving the ground to shoot.

Are you watching the same clip? He didn't leave the floor to shoot until after he knocked the defender down.

The other thing about this particular play is when the UL player pushes off the right leg there is no possible way for him to make contact by going into the defense. As soon as UL puts left foot on the floor again, he changes direction and goes into the defender, UL initiates contact that is not otherwise possible.

I cannot see how this is a block at all. The defender hardly moved.
