The shot blocker is in the NBA right now.

Peace

Clean block. Gotta let big guys block shots and not give them cheap fouls.

Looks like Meyers Leonard to me.

It is him. Playing for Portland, went to Illinois.

Terrible whistle.

Clean block and a good example of when not to call across the paint from the Lead.

And looks like Meyers Leonard to me as well.

He is a big guy mutant. 7'1". Meyers Leonard. Illinois and Portland now.

Good block with little contact on my screen. Zebra likely would want that one back.

"And that kids is why you don't call across the lane as Lead!"

That's not across the paint. It's in the middle of the lane.

It's not a foul, either.

Clean block and verticality. All legal.

Looks like a clean block.

However, it is possible that the defenders arm made contact with the shooters head on the follow through. That's the only possible foul I could see here, and the lead would have been in a pretty good angle to see that type of contact.

I'm not going to say with certainty that its a terrible call unless I could see the angle from the other side.

Ouch...hate seeing these. Great position and body control by the defender. Almost a textbook block by a big guy who now has one extra foul to carry for the rest of the game. To echo what everyone has said...don't reach across. Trust your partner.

And in Illinois, this means exactly what? Certainly not the best officials the state has to offer. Many of the guys working the state tournament here are doing so as lifetime achievement awards. That is usually why they are 5+ years past their prime, can no longer run, and are 25+ pounds over weight.

My thoughts exactly as I am watching the video. He was screened out by the shooter on a play the C would be all over if something was there. Poor whistle....
