Michigan-Louisville shooting foul clip (Hancock/Burke 1st half)

[APG]

Defense doesn't want a foul called on him, close out better and jump straight up and down.

Or better yet, avoid any physical contact. Which, it appears, he did avoid doing.

How did he change directions in mid-air then? Was there a big gust of wind? Or was it from the contact with the shooter?

Sucked in his gut...curved his spine to make an inverted C.....I don't know how he did it, but the camera angles provided doesn't show any contact. Only results that lead the majority to think there must have been contact.

Well you're going to be alone or in the minority in thinking that...definitely contact there IMO.

What the heck???

It is T's call all the way. T has that play because the L has all the post play. And no way is T straightlined - he is looking right down the court between the two players. The camera angle is straightlined.

I don't think I said it wasn't his call. From his angle he misses Hancock leaning left to try and initiate contact. Based on the physical play of the game, I felt this was inconsistent if there was any contact. Nothing there imo. Not the worst call, I just didn't like it.

Good acting job by Hancock though

This is the trails call to make all the way. Maybe he was straightlined, maybe he had a better look than you think. Either way, the defender was not in a legal position when contact occurred with jump shooter. This has to be a foul every time.
