Stanford-California Video Request (Video)
 

APG or Jet or whoever has the ability...

Could you please post the throw-in and subsequent foul at about the 1:56 mark of the second half?

Anyone have an offensive foul before the called foul?

The defensive foul led to a monitor review to determine whether they should upgrade or not. They stayed with the personal foul and did not upgrade.

Some of you may be able to browse to the play here: ESPN3 -- Stanford vs. California

Should have called the offensive foul. Everything else after that seemed correct and well handled. I will say that the offensive foul did not seem as bad as the defensive player made it look. However, getting that call prevents the rest.

Wow...even I would call that offensive foul. Did the defender embelish...sure, but don't most of them?

That looks like a lot of embellishment. I think I would have passed on the PC foul too.

Peace

No PC. Nice acting job by the defender. The offensive player touched the defender but most certainly didn't displace him.

No call on the pc, IMO.

This is one of times when a defender oversells a possible PC foul, and it ends up costing him.

Overselling didn't necessarily cost him ... the dumb retaliation bump did :)

These two teams have a recent history of bad blood. Given that I would be inclined to call the PC foul to prevent things from escalating, even though I think the contact is minimal, the defensive player clearly embellished the severity of the contact, and in most situations I would have a no call. I guess you would say my PC call would be game specific, not necessarily play specific.

No PC foul for me either.

If it were that kind of situation, I'd call it a block. I'm calling the offense for a foul they didn't commit because the defender is being an ass.

I have a PC, especially given the back story of their rivalry. The defender didn't do anything wrong/illegal on the initial contact and embellishing doesn't mean no foul was committed. If A1 is enough of a knucklehead to drop a shoulder into someone in that situation (+12, < 2:00) he deserves what he gets.

If such a thing was a POE, this is a great time to whip out the PC/T-for-embellishing double foul.

Think of the great calls made in the NHL where a penalty is called, along with a second one for diving.

Would anyone consider giving the Cal kid a T here? I think I would consider it. He emblished the contact then looks like he throws a shoulder/forearm.

By the letter of the book, yes, he faked being fouled. In reality, no.

No chance in hell

Not for his fake, but for the way he threw his shoulder and forearm when he came and fouled. Seems to be a non basketball play and intentional.

Nope.

Peace

The question that was asked was whether it would be a T. It didn't mention an intentional foul. But the answer to that is still no.

PC

Offensive player clearly causes contact. Did the defender embellish? Absolutely. But he embellishes to help us out. He was displaced. And instead of helping us out, we refuse the help and say no thanks buddy, I really want you to get hit really hard before I give the offense a foul.

In my opinion, we invited the retaliation foul.

Incidentally, bench decorum.
