Maryland vs. Louisville (Women's)
 
3:27 in second half. Foul on Alyssa Thompson for displacement or incidental contact battling for a rebound? Was called a foul.

That's a foul, and it's not even close.

MathReferee Wed Apr 02, 2014 03:12pm

Foul.

Announcers gave the ol', "That's just a loose ball" line or something like that.

Raymond Wed Apr 02, 2014 03:19pm

That's definitely a foul. I'm sure the announcers probably said something stupid.

JRutledge Wed Apr 02, 2014 03:26pm

It might be a foul, but not a slam dunk. Both players jumped toward the ball. The Louisville player just took the brunt of the contact. I have no problem if someone no-called this.

Peace

I would have a play on.

Looks like a good call to me. L'ville player is moving toward the endline and the Maryland player is moving across the key, causing the contact. Contact was enough to knock the L'ville player down. Seems pretty easy.

Yep.

Hmmm... I'm in the minority here - I don't see this as a foul, at least not from just this one angle.

bballref3966 Wed Apr 02, 2014 04:22pm

Definitely a foul. I just requested the video to make sure I wasn't the only one who thought Doris Burke was naive.

I agree....50/50 ball with both players jumping towards each other from equally advantageous positions.

That said, I could just as easily make a case for a foul on either player.

You could pretty much do anything here and be "right".

Welcome to the world of women's basketball !!! You know all those jump balls you are going to call in AAU the next two months in girls games, that you wouldn't call in a men's game. Well that is a foul that we call because it is women's basketball, but we would no call that in a guy's game.....
