Yes the rules change has a lot to do with this play as now pretty much everything is now defaulted to a block.

This play has nothing to do with any upward motion as the player never even ended his dribble.

I was at the game in person. The officials were horrendous all game, the error at 0:20 was just the culmination of that.

I have PC on the first play.

The second play would have been avoidable if they would have called the VCU player who ended up getting fouled for a hold to begin with. He has his left arm wrapped around the UMass player's waist as the ball is being thrown in. Still, that is a major SNAFU.

Details. Otherwise you just sound like a fanboy.

Thanks for the technical breakdown of the officiating.

Nor is it a secondary defender.

Sending this one up north. PC.

Second play is the one they should be concerned about, messing up rules is not an option.
