Nebraska at Wisconsin (Video)

Block/Charge:



Drive and T:

Play 1: Charge. Tech on Bo if you call a block though.

Play 2: Not enough information. Doesn't look good though.

#1. You might argue for a no-call if you felt the defender embellished (I don't) but there is nothing whatsoever in that play that makes it block if the rules are properly applied. That is a charge or nothing.

#2. The only thing I think he could be complaining about is the travel. I could be an all-star if I was allowed to travel like that. it was pretty egregiious. The shooter had stopped his dribble, jumped off of his right foot, landed on his right foot, followed by his left foot, then lifted the right foot and stepped with it again before shooting. Even if you judge that the right-left came down together, he still doesn't get to pivot again as he did. I wouldn't think that would be worth getting a T over, however. Was there something else he might have been complaining about?

I think the head coach is not arguing about any potential travel but rather he feels there was a push off with the forearm by the offensive player...at least that's what I see as evidence by what looks like a push off signal by the coach.

I guess I could see that but it really wasn't that much. I've seen a lot more let go, and didn't even notice it until you mentioned it. Hardly enough to complain so much that it draws a T.

1) proper mechanics, but wrong call. Defender had LGP.

2) Not sure ehat we are debating.

#2....I think we just trying to figure out what happened....what triggered the coach's action that drew the T. It certainly isn't clear.

I did want the play posted for two reasons. Did the official call a T properly in that situation (which I have no problem with). Or maybe we could figure out if the coach had a beef about something that was not called to his liking?

The commentators tried to suggest that a T was not good in that situation and the official should have walked away. I disagree with that opinion and think coaches need to behave even when they think they are right.
