Agreed, and I think officiating is moving away from this. I haven't watched the video, but I don't base my call on wehther the basket went in.

If the contact is both illegal and makes the shot noticeably more difficult, it's a foul, IMO. Whether it goes in is immaterial.

And you're penalizing the offense sometimes when they make the shot even though they were illegally contacted.

In the first play, the shooter jumps into the defender. In the second, the defender moves into the shooter, knocking him off balance. There are a lot harder fouls then that in a college game, but I would say the calls are certainly not terrible, even if we decide they are incorrect.

I gneerally agree with this. Red is not moving to the endline; white is. Foul on white; no foul on red.

First play defender is the primary defender isn't responsible for any of the contact and the basket went. Moving on.

2nd play defender is coming in as secondary. Steps into shooter and is responsible for contact. Not sure I would have had enough there to call it, but no problem with the foul call.
