Maryland at Indiana: Undercut on Rebound? (Video)

I am not penalizing the bigger player just because he is bigger. I thought not only was it a good call, it was a great call and I feel the official saw the entire play.

A great call, let's not get carried away with hyperbole.

It is a great call because most would have seen the end result and penalized the bigger player because he was on top of the player inside. Heck how many times do we hear someone say "over the back" or "He had inside position." Heck the announcers said that live. And look at the reaction of the players. And I had to see replay just to determine what happened. It was subtle but it was the right call.

I agree with you on many of those points, but I still would not characterize a common foul call on a rebound play with 7 minutes to go in a 13 point game a great call.

I am not focusing on the game situation. I am focusing on the action. I just think if it was the first minute of the game or the last minute of the game, many officials would have made the call against the Maryland player, not the Indiana player. And I can say that looking at the plays the NCAA puts out and how often the first contact is often ignored.

nice call. very close but it looks like the IU player isn't in a good position and makes a bit of contact. What makes it difficult is the Maryland player doesn't go straight up so it is reasonable to expect an "over the top call here". But I can't penalize the Maryland player for that when there isn't a proper screen-out.

Good video.

Looks to me like the player in black jumped forward into the player in white as the player in white moved backward into the player in black. I would personally go with a common foul on the player in black, but I can't fault the official for going the other way. Technically, I think this should be a double foul, but I can't imagine any official (including myself) would ever actually call it like that.

I might let it go as a no-call but I support the foul being called. I just don't see a foul on the Maryland player. I know what you are saying about the double foul and the Maryland player doesn't go straight up but I thought the contact is mainly caused first by the IU player.

Meh. When does any call count as a great call? Tough standard...
