Blue is on her feet and running in a straight line toward the ball and has the more advantageous route and position relative to white as they both advance toward the ball. White dives and takes blue's legs out from under her. Blocking or pushing foul on white.

I can't believe this is even a debate. A player who leaves her feet and makes contact doesn't have legal position, period.

Good thing Trail came 50 feet to get this.

What does the distance have to do with anything? I can see the sun and it's 93 million miles away, after all.

I think it's a fantastic piece of officiating. The official on the ballside of the floor was pinned inside and had no idea what happened there.

BTW, that was the center making the call -- the L rotated over and put the old C / new T in a horrible position.

An excellent example on how to be insightful using a useless scientific fact.

I can see the Andromeda Galaxy and it's 2.25 million light years away. I eat a lot of carrots. Did you ever see a rabbit wearing glasses?

Scientist says that he's going to become famous by being the first person to land on the Sun. Second scientist says that that's impossible because it's too hot on the Sun. First scientist says that he's figured out a way around that problem; he's going to land on the Sun at night.

I'm a bit slow -- can't tell if you're being sarcastic. I guess I should be impressed by that alone.

Truth is, sometimes the official the farthest away has the best angle. He closed distance and sold the call.

You mean after meandering around the middle of the paint for a while?

Easy foul call on white. Glad one of the crew came to get it.

I wouldn't say the L rotating put the C/T in a horrible position. She would have been in that horrible position even if the L had not rotated. She got screened by the players (even got run into) and whether she was supposed to be C or T, she would have had no look.

It was good of the new C to recognize the T was pinned and prevented from seeing the play. Whether we agree or not with the actual call, it was on the T to cover it.

Sorry, I was really thinking on a different wavelength -- horrible position for a trail, is what I meant. Completely agree with your post.

First, what does that have to do with this play?

Second, it isn't even correct.
