charge. That's good D.

Contact was mostly on the leg (thigh/knee) outside the frame of the defender's torso.

I have a charge on the play...defender is legal...offensive player tries to slip past the defender but fails.

Tough to see where the contact with defender was, looked like it might have been almost knee-to-knee.

But the travel is almost as easy as they get. Ridiculous to count that bucket.

Barely...I won't disagree. Real time, realistically, I'd probably consider the gather to be in the air, which makes the right foot the pivot.

Easy? That's a joke.

Nor I. PC for me.

What exactly was the call, though? The official signaled block, then pointed the other way? Announcer said "charge?"

Maybe my characterization was too strong. Its closer than I thought at first.

Still a travel though :D

I don't think he pointed the other way. He was merely counting the basket.

Block, count the basket

Block, count the basket. This is exactly why I changed my "and 1" mechanic last year, another official pointed out that it was too similar to an offensive foul signal.

I do believe I see a travel, but not before a PC.

To call a block and count the basket is incorrect imho.

He was using something similar to the NCAA-W score-the-goal signal (which I see a lot of men's officials use), as opposed to the by-the-book NCAA-M signal (not sure if I've actually ever seen someone use it outside of a HS or juco game) for that.

I wouldn't have been able to get that travel in real time.

I've got a PC foul.

If he calls a block, with the NCAA change to "upward motion" being the start of the shooting motion, this would be a foul before the shot.

I think the "travel" posts are in reference to the fact that by the time he released the shot he had traveled, so we shouldn't be counting the basket.
