Certain The Throw Is Unsuccessful ???
Quote:
The try ends when the throw is successful, when it is certain the throw is unsuccessful, when the thrown ball touches the floor, or when the ball becomes dead. Whereas, I prefer to point to this: An airborne shooter is a player who has released the ball on a try for a goal or has tapped the ball and has not returned to the floor. The airborne shooter is considered to be in the act of shooting. JRutledge's philosophy (clean block on top, contact below doesn't effect the shot, no foul) here on the Forum has been very consistent over the years, and, again, I give him credit for remaining firm in his convictions. But I still disagree with him.

With regard to this being incidental contact, I think this would apply:
4-27-5: If, however, a player approaches an opponent from behind or from a position from which he has no reasonable chance to play the ball without making contact with the opponent, the responsibility is on the player in the unfavorable position.

I think it all boils down to judgement on what incidental contact is.
There's the philosophy that, on this play, if you can't make the shot block without the knee contact to the shooter's head, then you shouldn't be allowed to make the shot block. The other philosophy is that the defender made an athletic play that was squeaky clean, and once the shot ends, any non-severe contact should be disregarded. My rationale for calling a foul here is that the shooter is in a vulnerable position and takes pretty severe contact to the head. But I totally get why there would be no call - with the blessing of everybody in the building - in a good hard, physical game.

Where Is JRutledge When You Need Him The Most ???
Once JRutledge finishes mowing his lawn, and logs onto the Forum, I bet that he will say, pretty much, the same thing.

This play falls into the category of one you "don't want to see again in the game." It is a foul. If we have blocked shot with marginal contact, then absolutely no-call would be the correct response. The contact in this play is not marginal.
