Double Whistle on a PC/Block call about a minute later.

Wow - where do I start?
1. Looks like a travel to me.
2. Charge - seems like the lead would've had best angle but appears he calls a block. Good job on both to hold the signal though.
3. I don't know what I'm looking at, but that's not Okafor
4. Sure looks like a PC to me
5. Seems like that was right in the referee's line of sight. No call.
6. Hmmm, might the Duke player have been holding the ND player first? I could've lived with a no call on this play.

Here we go again with the flop nonsense.

If that's not displacement, nothing is.

1) barely can see what happened. Definitely nothing to learn from this play

2) what are we debating on this play?

3) ??? I see a POE foul.

4) PC followed by a travel.

5) I think the official guessed on this play based on the embellishment of the player who was screened.

6) I don't think the official sees the whole play and the defender embellishes contact.

The angle the offensive player was moving and where the defender was does not explain the level of contact. The defender was also moving back and I don't see that as a PC foul. Contact was minimal its a nocall, and embellishment by the defender.

This is not minimal contact nor embellishment. The defender's body changes direction while his feet are off the ground when contact occurs. It is not possible to change body direction while airborne without application of an external force. See video around the 0:25 mark for the defender's feet, and then 0:34 for the external force, W15's right shoulder in the sternum of the defender as W15 jumps into the defender.

Play 1: Can't tell. Probably held ball or nothing.

Play 2: Block at that level.

Play 3: No travel, foul.

Play 4: Offensive foul

Play 5: Nothing

Play 6: Offensive foul

That contact is not a PC, no matter how many times I watch it. The offensive player is moving east/west and the defender is not. The onus of that contact is on the defense. I have a no call. Travel, maybe. In real life I may not see that travel.

1. Inconclusive. I can't see with high certainty in the video how much, if any, the defender prevented the release. It really needed a view from a different angle to be sure.
2. PC...defender was legal long before contact, shooter when through him
3. Seems like a basic handcheck to me
4. Block, defender moving into the path of an airborne opponent and toward white at the time of contact. Even if it was somewhat backward, the airborne component of the play prevents the defender from moving into his path at that time. It was a travel, but I'm not going with that since the contact may have contributed to the travel. Must go with the foul. No shot since it occurred before the shooter was on the way up for a shot.
5. Fooled the referee....no foul occurred.
6. Holding foul on the defender....which caused the reaction from the offensive player which drew the offensive foul call. No call OK but NOT an offensive foul.
