Duke at Notre Dame (Video)

1) Quite possible that W32's contact from behind was on the wrist.

2) I can live with this call, but it was close.

Didn't think either were fouls when watching the game. My opinion didn't change when seeing them again on the forum.

1) Who was the foul called on? I didn't see anything on W35...I couldn't tell if W32 got the arm.

2) Second (overhead) camera angle shows defender moving into shooter creating contact. Calling official had a beautiful angle. I can live with this one.

i had no fouls on either.

I don't think there was anything on the first play. Looked like ball/hand.

Second is a tough call, but I believe defender jumped into offense. Although I wouldn't argue that he landed prior to offense shooting.

Please notice that shooter in the second play significantly jumps forward.

And?

In play 1 there is no camera angle that shows where W32 makes contact with ball or player, so how can we judge if the Lead got it right? I'm trusting the Lead saw illegal contact.

Yup. That's a foul. The defender left his feet and moved significantly forward towards the shooter -- smart play by the shooter to draw the foul.

The overhead shot shows that #1 is probably a miss, but it's still not the look the L had, so who knows what he saw?

I think both were fine as called.

In the first, it looks like he may have hit the arm as must if not more than the ball. The lead was in perfect position to see it. The camera wasn't.

In the second, the defender never stopped moving towards the shooter. I though it was not a foul from one angle but, as Bad Zebra said, another showed he was moving towards the shooter.

First play: I'll defer to the calling official's angle on the play.

Second play: I hate plays like this where a player hesitates when taking a 3 and then jumps into the airborne defender but I think in this case, unfortunately, it's a foul.

I'm not going to reward an offensive player for jumping into a defender.
