Block/PC + a little help? (Video)

[Rooster]

From my perspective the T has to come get this. When the L opens up, indicating he's got the ball handler's competitive matchup, the T should then get the post players. W12 was the T's secondary defender. Mayyyyyyybe the T was straight-lined and didn't want to guess... He or she does seem to be high enough to not be in the camera angle. The C seems to have a good look, but that's pretty far away, no?

Now let's start the discussion about whether or not W12 was moving forward and the point of contact. Yeehaw!

He's probably 5-10 feet further away than either the L or the T but he's also the only one who doesn't have a body in his way.

I was thinking about this last night. It seems like a "perfect storm" situation where the T's angle was lousy at the point of contact. He also may not have been able to see White 11's feet. One ironic thing about this play: I watched the whole game and there were more than a few double whistles that my supervisors probably would've said weren't needed (I know it's something I need to be mindful of every game). I actually expected a double on this one, with the C being one of the two.

BTW, I have a block. White 11 was moving forward when the BH/dribbler went airborne.

I know NCAA-W's mechanics wants the Trail to take a crack at this, but this is absolutely the C's play. He only has two players in his area and is the only person on the crew who can tell if the defender has LGP before upward motion/offensive players leaves the floor. The C is 10-15 feet away but must close down into the court when all the players are on the other side of the floor. Thus, if he needs to make a call like this or at the rim he is in a position from where he can sell the call.

That said, good job by the Lead. He guessed, but he had a nice cadence whistle because he knew that play needed a call. Don't know why he would need to wave off the shot unless the ball goes in. If it did go in partners would need to help.

She was. Discussion closed.
