Ok, no held ball, travelling instead after he pulls away.

For the way this game was called from the start, I don't have a problem with this call. They didn't pass on anything the whole game really. I would have liked to seen just a more patient whistle, but I think they did a pretty good job.

Can't really see enough from this video to say one way or the other.

Given that two of them called it from two different angles, it probably was. It is not likely that two officials would both call a held ball if it wasn't.

There is a shot CBS had from the half court view. That shot is a good look at it. No dout from that angle it was the right call.

I think it was close and really not easy to see on this video and from this angle. I can see why it was called, but not convinced either way.

Peace

Manly Men ???

Held ball ball in a middle school girls game. But these players don't look like middle school girls? If they are, then they're awfully big, and really ugly.

I agree that they could have passed on the held ball and called the travel which would have given the ball back to Louisville.

Or, they could have called a foul on either player.

Or they could have 'just let the players decide the game'

All of which came after the defender grabbed the ball and the opponent tried to twist it away from the defender.

How in the heck could the L see this, and I really don't like the C's look either. For me the definition of a held ball was not met. At most that was a 4th/5th grade girls held ball.

It amazes me that you can get so many different opinions on every call and they expect us to be consistent.

I was fine with the call before someone gets a loose fist.

I just saw another angle of the play. It was a lot more conclusive. Held ball was a good call.
