Contact on ball handler (video)

Thoughts?

This is the kind of stuff that happened last year that caused us to have a POE this season.

Dribbler was fouled at least 2-3 times IMO...at least from the angle provided.

I know some people that would say "let it go, they get two points" and it all worked out in the end. My opinion though is I think there were 3 good opportunities to call fouls on that play. Plus they were in double bonus and would've had 2 free throws anyway.

The final contact was pretty clearly a foul. There's no guarantee the kid makes the bunny. Call it and give him the FT's.

I have three fouls before the pass here.

As others have said, several chances to put a whistle on this play ... but the easiest call would have been around the 2.9-2.8 mark.

I understand that officials generally don't like making calls in this situation, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't.

I definitely would have called the push that occurred at the top of the key (before the pass). The defender (#3) very clearly did not have legal guarding position, and came into the dribbler from his back/side and caused displacement.

I have one clear foul at the end, one likely foul near the end, two maybes where the only thing that is clear is that the defender is near when the dribbler has trouble with the ball.

I hope this isn't true for most officials, especially at this level. It sounds eerily similar to "let the players decide the game" garbage that comes from announcers and losing coaches.

I'm Camron, and the only foul I would have called with the angle we have is the push at the top of the key.

Not liking to make a call is different than not making a call.

Well, if that is true, I guess I"m either Adam or Adam does know me from Adam.
