Talk about your stereotypes of men not being talkers...

I don't think we've ever gotten one of these clips on the NCAAW side where the reason behind the interpretation wasn't explained...and explained again. To just say "this is a blocking foul because of 4-17-5" and not go into the possession aspect of the play creates more confusion. It also has an aspect of, "this is what we want called, deal with it."

That was my take on the video.

Of course, I was one of the few who thought it was a block in the first place, so maybe my intuition was talking to me.

But, the NCAAM side seems to have more (and / or more frequent) plays / clips

In the baseball clips they always explain why they want something called a certain way also. I was surprised there was no explanation on this play from Adams.

Adams should thank himself for being a fan of college basketball, since that's what he sounds like with this interpretation.
