Can't agree with that. I've seen primary defenders get called for a lot more blocks as well.

Huh? Isn't the essence of defense preventing the opponent from going where they want to go?

It looks like the offensive player just runs right over the defense. I would go PC on this play.

Camron, I agree with you but Toren isn't far off based on some of the calls we've seen/posted. It reminds me of a comment attributed to Calipari at the start of the season. He apparently told his kids if they don't block the shot just get out of the way.
