Vanderbilt vs Tennessee - PC/RA call (Video)

[MechanicGuy]

4:02 remaining in 2nd half

I believe it aired on ESPN, possibly ESPN2

It was a tough call made tougher by the fact that the defender didn't fall

(I know that isn't necessary, but it makes the play LOOK much different than many PC calls)

Plus, he was VERY close to the RA, though I'm not sure any shot showed this clearly

I was going to post a request for this same play.
It will make a nice instructional video.
I believe that the charging call was correct.

It was either a PC or a no-call.

I can make a case for either, though live I thought there was enough contact for the PC

...assuming he was outside the RA.

Very close.
The defender does reach his spot in time, but his left heel seems to be barely touching the RA. To determine this, I paused the video and took a still pic, then enlarged it. That's how close this was.

I *think* the rule-of-thumb is "when in doubt, he's out."

So, charge is the right call.

With halftime scores in the teens/20's of D1 games, college basketball could use some more NBA rules in the book.

Among other criteria, think "displacement" rather than defender falling.....

In live action, the Lead got it right.
