Shooting Foul/PC/Nothing?

I disagree. B1 was not disadvantaged on this, imo.

No call.

But, I will admit that a lot of the perception, on both sides, is that B will be called for the foul if he gets faked into the air like that.

Someone should post video of an official calling PC on a play like this. And then the coach going bonkers.

I don't think it is entirely about whether B1 was disadvantaged on a play like this.

I'm OK with a no call in general, however. But, if there were some other factors in the game, this would be a great time to have a whistle...and call a PC too. I had the defender legally jumping in his vertical space....and it makes it all the easier when the offense throws himself into the defender like that.

I had a very similar play Saturday night in a playoff game (a game that went to OT and was only decided with a foul with a 1+1 on the other end with 3 seconds left in OT...but that is another story). Not nearly as much contact as the OPs play but the shooter lunged forward to make the contact on a 3-point attempt from the corner. No call. Not a word from anyone either. It was pretty obvious that the shooter jumped in. The only thing that happened is that his shot came up woefully short.

If taking a shoulder to the ribcage isn't disadvantaged, then I'm not sure what is.

That's not a disadvantage unless it prevents him from performing normal defensive actions. I'll agree disadvantage here is minimal. However, displacement seems sufficient here.

I'd probably call the PC and wouldn't give a rat's rump about the grief I took. It's possible I'd no-call it, too. It's really hard to say.

If the trail was in good position and had a look that showed something different than the video I'm OK with a block - otherwise as seen nothing.

A PC would be a real tough sell.
