UCONN- Memphis (Video)

[jeremy341a]

#11 blue moves forward into the ball handler. I don't know if he was calling that foul late or ...

Easy T

Foul before his pivot foot comes back down.

Looks like the defender moves obliquely, not forward. Easy to see in slo mo replay. Not so much in real time.

Foul before travel.

He clearly comes forward to make contact and then moves with him sideways. It looks to me like the foul was called on the initial contact, and the C was going to let them play through it, but the offense lost his balance as a result of it . T is easy.

Good no call on the non-travel.

Good observation. I can see that.

But that's what he did. I don't think it was intended to show the ref up, more from "disbelief" as you would say.

Looks like I'm the only one who doesnt like the T. A simple "put your hands down" is all that's needed here IMO.

Yup. Was posting this from memory but the first look at the replay showed exactly that.

That was my thought too. But if that's the case the C has to be ball watching to pick that up from the beginning. The T who has the play all the way passes.

Maybe - just maybe - the C was watching over there because there was a high screen set by white, and the C needs to help on that screen. As a result, he was able to pick up the body contact from the defender and put a whistle on it. I doubt that the C saw the initial contact caused by the defender moving forward, but as they came past the screen, he was able to see what was going on.

I'm not sure its that simple. A rotation just happened. Just based on his lack of drop into the slot it looks like the new C either didn't realize a rotation had occurred, or he stayed high so he could stay with the matchup he had from when he was T.
