Duke v Michigan State Block/Charge (Video)

[CNYREF]

So this play was covered in a video bulletin by john Adams and obviously as we all know it was a player control foul however as stated previously he also said this should have been the leads call because it was a secondary defender. Doesn't matter if it's outside of paint. Only the C's call if it was primary...

I disagree with Mr. Adams in regards to the Lead on this play.

Me too. C all the way.

personally, I don't really care who calls it - this needs to be a charge.

preferably this is the leads call: 1) a secondary defender is involved (too hard for C to look past primary defender - who got beat and past offensive player to find the secondary defender to determine if he has LGP and is outside RA); and 2) plays are almost always easier to officiate when they are coming TOWARDS you rather than AWAY from you.

In this case, it would be too much of a reach for lead IMO to grab this. If he had closed down somewhat, possibly. Also, C has a much better angle than lead, surprised he called block.

I'm not a fan of reaching across the paint.
