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.

Foul.

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

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

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

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.

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.....
