Wisconsin vs Iowa

If not, would the defender be within the rules to be more aggressive in "holding his ground"? Is holding his ground the back to the basket post defense that JetMetFan is referring to?

Isn't that the play at the beginning of the video? If yes, that is not a displacement foul.

So 4 or 5 feet of backward movement on 2 separate dribbles is not displacement? If not, what qualifies as displacement?

I didn't see the play, but ...

The official must decide if the defense is giving way, or is being displaced. It's a tough decision while on the court.

edit: I went back and found the video. I agree with Arem, from the camera angle.

The latest You Make the Call NCAA-Men's video has an example of post displacement, this play is nowhere close. The defender gave up ground pretty willingly.

Secondly, it wouldn't have hurt my feelings if that assistant coach joined the HC in the locker room.

That's some apology from the guy too.

I'm a huge Hawkeye fan and this whole thing leaves me disappointed. I have to ask, though, what you expected from his apology.

How about, for once, the Coach actually apologizes. Something along the lines of

"I am really sorry that I lost it. I know better, and I need to keep myself under control. I especially want to apologize to Mr. Whoever and Mr. Whatshisname, the two officials that I 'went off' on. They are excellent officials and did not deserve the abuse I heaped on them."

Wishful thinking?? Yes...
