1. No call.
2. No call- he flopped. 3. Obvious T for taunting. Regardless of the time left on the clock. |

I see "flop" comments all over this message board when discussing block/charge calls. It's amazing to me how many of us look for any reason possible for no calls on what are clearly PC fouls. Many of us are afraid to make the correct call because of fears of being fooled on a legitimate flop. This defensive player had position and took the contact. The defense deserves to be rewarded for getting to the position first and making a good defensive play. Players who flop should not be rewarded. But I think there is such a witch hunt for floppers that legitimate defensive plays are being penalized far too frequently. |

I know what a flop is. It was a rhetorical question...and a poor choice of words. Legitimate flop? Laughing at myself. By legitimate flop, I meant really feigning being fouled. Reggie Miller was a flopper. Dennis Rodman was a flopper. I don't see that in this video nor many of the other block/charge videos have been discussed recently. |

It is a simple matter of physics. If a players upper body starts going down before they are contacted in their lower extremities... |

....it is entirely irrelevant. The call is simple, does the offensive player go through the space legally obtained by the defender? If the defender starts fading back AND the offense still hits them, that only magnifies the fact that the offensive player went through their space. |
Legal ...

And, of course, the defender is always allowed to move backward. |
