Two plays, two great calls, one official (video)

Time to focus on us when we do good. Two plays in the final 15 secs of Friday's UVA/GTech ACCW Tournament game. The first was an RA Block. The second was a T for taunting after a blocked shot.

Good calls, but does the L normally signal a 3 pt attempt in WNCAA?

Yes, the L's primary extends into the corner in NCAA-W mechanics.

Signals the attempt, but not the make.

That was a horrible call. It was a PC.

First call was a block with or without the RA but using the RA as the reason pretty much eliminates any question about the judgement.

That is a clear and absolute blocking foul. Play doesn't originate in the lower defensive box, thus the RA is in play. Defender's right heel is in the RA.

And even if it wasn't, Camron has this right...it's still a block w/o the RA in play...defender is still sliding laterally into the spot after the defender is airborne.

You have got to be kidding. The end line replay clearly shows the defender sliding laterally in on the airborne shooter.

I worked with her at camp last year. She is a great official, and is awesome to work with!

I saw this game live on tv and was instantly impressed. She has got whatever "it" is.

Due to the thread title, I expected to see two difficult decisions in the video.
However, the first one is really nothing more than an out of bounds call--just a matter of looking for where the player's foot is--and the second is a routine unsporting T.

I would expect most competent HS officials to be able to get these plays correct, although there is some adapting that must be done to work with the RA.

So what would you call screaming in the face of an opponent after blocking their shot? Many wouldn't have been willing to call it given the time/score.
