UConn vs West Virginia block at mid court (Video)

[Sharpshooternes]

3:35 left in the first half. WV called for a blocking foul. Looks like he had position the whole time although he turned away from the ball handler. Looks like the UCon player had an extended forearm on the defender for awhile. Thoughts on this play?

I agree with the foul on the defense.

Foul on defender as soon as he used his right arm to hinder the ball handler.

Not a blocking foul for me, I've got a handcheck like BNR.

I've got no problem if the call is for handchecking as previous posters have stated. I don't see a block in there anywhere. D is running to space in which they are entitled, offense is dribbling in space to which they are entitled only contact which continues is the offense trying to hold or create space with the defenders hip and back. I can't call the offense since the D isn't restablishing a position but I'm certainly not calling a block for the offense continuing to push against a defender. I'm probably no calling this unless (back to initial point) you've got a handcheck when the d starts hand fighting too.

It is a tough one, but I do not have a foul on this play. I have a defender moving his feet and the dribbler is trying to go where he cannot go. This is a play on with me, but I can see why it was called.
