Dead ball contact

[Camron Rust]

I have a block on #2. The defender, with nowhere near LGP, cut under the shooters leg and caused him to flip around and to the floor. Shooter would have landed on his feet otherwise. That is a protect the shooter play if there ever was one.

Now that I've seen the play on a better video, I agree, should have had a whistle for a block on that play. Defender's torso contacted the airborne shooter's leg.

Here are some more plays from this game that I wanted to hear some opinions about.

1) Foul on white for pushing through the screen.

2) Hard to tell from this angle, but I probably let it go

3) Black begins the motion just past the FT line -- shooting foul

4) Not a shooting foul

5) Good call -- white pushed black back, then got the rebound

6) Seems right, but tough to see. Why did the officials converse immediately after?

7) Looks like a flop by black

Agree on all. #2 is iffy but I would like to see another angle before I say it's wrong.

On a different note, I really don't like the pointing to the floor mechanic used in #3 and #4 when they have a non-shooting foul. I just think waving the shot off and then giving the throw-in spot looks a lot sharper.

1. Push by the white defensive player.
2. Probably illegal, but I hope it was the first kind of play. I did not see a lot of displacement, just a guy going around the screen on some level.
3. Give him foul shots.
4. Give him shots. BTW, I hate one armed mechanics. Wave the basket off or award shots.
5. I have no idea who that foul was called on. Looks like a play on to me.
6. Common foul. I hope there is not a consideration for anything else. Basketball play that had two out of control players.
7. Looks like more of a flop and little contact. I would rather have a play on here.

Peace

Agree on all counts with the same point on #2. It might be a good illegal screen call...I tend to think so.

1. Is this Lead's call or Trail?
2. I've heard almost a 50/50 split on whether this play is legal or illegal

5. That's me making the call. I felt black had prime rebounding position and was displaced (even just a little) when white returned inbounds. I held my whistle until there was advantage realized. If the basket was good or rolled off the rim the other direction I would have let this go.
6. I ran to my partner to ask him if he wanted to upgrade. He said no.
7. Either a no-call or a block I think.
