Kentucky vs. Louisville (Video)

A couple no-calls (push at 16:06 and hit on the arm at 12:46) have caused Calipari to go into a tizzy. He has been warned.

Clear stepping out of bounds violation missed by the Lead around 10:24 of first half.
I'm going to blame the silly design of the floor marking. Never understood the 2-inch line inside of the thick and solid OOB area. Just paint the entire thing!

I like how the officials passed on the contact at 11:05 and then the same exact contact on the other end at 10:57. Perhaps both were fouls, but treated consistently.

I missed an OOB call very similar this season. Not sure the double marking has anything to do with it, I think the official just looked down late.

Harrell called for PC at 2:17, I thought he stayed under control and went to the (legal) defender but not through him.

I agree with you about the silly design of the floor marking. I am finding it at all levels on new courts. That said, I do not know how he missed the call because he was looking down right at the player's feet. I would have thought he would have called a foul if he thought the player was pushed out of bounds.

My "Better Half" called out of bounds when she watched the play has it happened live (of course it helps to have a 46" HD screen on which to watch the game, ).

I believe that when the player's foot came down it completely covered the 2-inch line, but did not touch the fat painted area outside of that. If the official was solely focused on the foot in that small area and while looking in that small spot sees inbounds-colored court to the side of the foot, it would appear that the player was inbounds.

He displaced the defender. That's all which is required by rule. PC was the proper call. Even Pitino said so in his halftime interview!

I don't think he displaced the defender, the "through" I mentioned. I thought the offensive player maintained control and stopped at contact, making the contact with the defender incidental.

You are using screening principles to judge a guarding situation. Hence, you are reaching the wrong conclusion.

Stopping at contact is only sufficient with a blind screen when the player with the ball is not involved. I haven't seen the play, but it's not the right way to judge whether there's a PC foul or not.

Same play at 13:07, this time no-called.

I sure whatever adult beverage Mrs. MTD has had this evening also helped in her judgment

It reminded me of the thread earlier in the week about the plays in the Syr / Dayton game.

Incorrect whistle for GT (perhaps BI depending upon angle) against Kentucky at 8:00 of 2nd half.
