Kentucky vs. Louisville (Video)

To me, it looked like the shooter jumped into him.

(Of course, I don't even DO basketball, and you just worked a state final so...)

No foul at 14.2 seconds. Defender stayed legal and moved with vertical plane. Not a huge miss though.

Or maybe not a miss at all.

I'm not saying the shooter didn't initiate the contact to a certain degree. I'm saying that the defender wasn't entirely vertical, that he moved into the shooter.

I'm a big believer in verticality - I just think it's a stretch to say this defender was vertical.

I don't have "a dog in this fight".....to the officiating crew in the UK v U of L game - you gotta be better than that!

That is a vertical defender in my opinion. If the Louisville player had made both FTs the call would have had a substantial impact. As it turned out he only made 1 of 2 and still being behind Louisville had to foul.
