Duke at Notre Dame (Video)
 

2:42 in the second half. There is a foul on a ND player who blocks the Duke big man. Looks like all ball, but I would like to see again.

Peace

9.2 seconds. A shooting foul on a ND defender. Was this a foul or not?

Peace

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.

Fan here. Just curious.

In play 1 (in the post) is there an opportunity for W32 to take a charge. It looks like W32 is in great position and B15 is just moving him out of the way.

Does he not take a charge because the rules don't allow it or because he doesn't think a charge is the best defense in that situation?

I might suggest to my 12 year old in that great of position to take a charge. But if it's not a good option, I'd like to understand why.

I think you mean white 35.

And, yes, one of the decisions we frequently have to make is whether the offense is displacing the defense, or whether the defense is simply giving ground.

first video no foul, but whatever not really a controversial play and those happen.
Second one is the classic case of the ref anticipating the foul because the defender got up in the air, only problem was the lack of a foul.

Play 1: Nothing. Great job by Lead leaving early while players were still tussling.

Play 2: Nothing
