Doesn't mean it isn't a foul

He may have embellished a little, but there was still contact. The mere fact that a player flops does not mean a foul/contact has not occurred. Clearly there was contact and in David Hall's judgment, the contact displaced the legal defender enough to call a foul.

No problem with this call, also wouldn't have had a problem with a no-call.

6:45 of 1st half Michigan player throws the ball off the backboard deliberately so that he can go get it again. Would love for the NCAA to put this in the rules video for next season and end the debate.

Agree with Nevada on the first one...defender looked entirely legal to me.

No problem with the backboard no call.

Not sure what the defender did wrong in the other block/charge. He got into the path before upward motion, well outside the RA. ???

Good charge call at the end.

Play 1: Nothing

Play 2: Cool

Play 3: Charge

Play 4: Charge

Now What Fun Would That Be ???

I would also love the NFHS to follow suit.

But, if they did, what would we argue about every year? We would have to come up with a new annual debatable topic. The off the backboard debate is a classic. I don't think that anything could replace that annual debate.

It's worth another look:

Yeah, some of these plays can be considered a try, but not this one. No way. No how. Not this one. Not in my game.

Full discloser, big Michigan fan here.

Play #1: I do not see why this was a foul. The defender had LGP and retreating and all he did was jump up backwards to defend the play. If anything that is a no call if you ask me.

Play #2: Nothing.

Play #3: Really close, but I think the defender is there. I think this rule has not been well defined IMO and these plays appear to be muddied.

Play #4: I still think this was a good call, PC and embellishment. But still a PC foul.

Peace
