I might miss some block/charge plays where there is a crash with players on the floor, but I've really tried to eliminate whistles on plays like this. I think too many officials penalize the defense, just like in this case, for doing nothing wrong.

I have no problem with this call. The angle is not great but it looks like the RSBQ was affected. I think the calling official has a better look and I am not upset over this call.

Peace

Play on playa...

[Bad Zebra]

From our angle...I got nothin'.

Lead definitely has the better view so I can't really dispute his call.

[MD Longhorn]

Play on.

Offensive player stopped at point on incidental contact and jumped straight up to attempt shot.

IMHO, there's no foul here.

I think if the calling official let the play finish, he would have not have had a whistle.

No call. Gotta have a patient whistle.

Defender was legal, 2 feet down, facing, in path all before the shooter went up and not moving toward the shooter. All the contact was the responsibility of the shooter but not nearly enough for a charge....no call. I wonder if he wasn't refereeing the defense. Either incorrect understanding of LGP or that are the #1 reasons these calls or missed.

Defender did nothing wrong. Even from our angle, he beat the dribbler to the spot. No Call

I was the L in that play. In "my mind's eye" the contact was more significant than seems to show on the tape.

From a personal criticism, I was way late in picking up the secondary defender.

It happens, but unless there was something else that the camera angle didn't allow us to see I'm going no call on this.

Were you anticipating more/worse contact or were you just surprised by the secondary being there?

It's ok bob! Did the white coach have any words?

Also, have you considered spicing up your block signal a bit?

What I saw (which might not be what happened ) was enough contact to knock A1 off the drive to the basket and force a 1-footed jump shot.

I didn't anticipate more / worse contact.

I was late on the secondary defender, and had him still moving forward.
