Duke vs Miami double foul vid request (Clip Added)

[tjones1]

I don't mind C having a whistle but I think he has to give L first crack. That being said I think the C got the call right.

From the sideline view looks like a charge, but looking at the end line view I have a block.

Transition. I have no problem in transition with the C getting that.

I agree that the L should get first crack at this...especially since this is a defender trying to slide laterally into position to take the charge. The lead is in the best position to see that side to side movement. The C can have a whistle on this but he needs to hold any preliminary signal and/or have a later (cadence) whistle IMO.

As is, the C had the right call IMO.

You know, I want to take back what I said about transition -- the L was in perfect position to take this play and, well, missed it.

Related thought: I've always found it odd that the L making the wrong call is preferable to the blarge -- at least ONE of them got it right.

I actually think the C had the best view. The defender was slipping forward into the dribbler. The C could easily see the defender moving forward....which is where the block would be.

The L should have been able to see that but it would have been much more difficult. The L would have seen lateral movement better, but not forward movement....and laterally, the defender looked like he got there to me.

I'm going to disagree with the crowd ok this one.

Defender has legal guarding position and moves laterally to maintain that position - and contact comes on the torso.

Dribbler was never airborne so the requirement to be set prior to the upward motion doesn't exist.

This looks player control to me.

I have a PC foul as well. The defender does not move towards the defender, he moves laterally.

And IMO, this is in transition, I have no problem with both officials have a crack on this. The C just has to be aware that someone else could have a whistle on this play.

Peace

I disagree with your assessment of the call, but (like you) I have no problem with the whistle from the C. I'd have a hard time NOT having a whistle as the C in this situation.

The problem is that the C and L both go right to a preliminary signal without even considering the other could have a whistle. The L doesn't even go up with a fist.

We can get away with that most of the time, but not all of the time.

I don't see what you guys see at all. I see the defender moving toward the offensive player the whole time, even right up until contact occurs. I hope we are watching the same video.

I also have the defender moving forward and contact from his left leg.

I do not have the defender moving forward, and I can't tell whether the contact is on the leg (block) or torso (charge).

Just doing my part to be sure we have all the possibilities covered.

At least we all agree that a "no-call" is not a valid choice.

That is why it is called judgment. I do not go looking for reasons to call fouls on the defender. He moves laterally IMO. The side view shows this the best. The end line view was not the best. And one of the reasons I feel the Lead should not be the "default" person to make these calls.

I do. It's called "refereeing the defense".

So the side view which the C has shows the lateral movement better than Lead's view from the baseline? If that is true why did C have a block and Lead have a charge? In this situation it is obvious that any side-to-side movement is best seen from Lead, whereas C has the best look at the defender moving forward or backward.

And yeah, the refereeing the defense thing was a joke, lighten up guys :P
