The Dayton no-call (video)

[ballgame99]

On first viewing I liked the no call, but from the opposite baseline verticality was definitely an issue. Thoughts?

Haven't looked at the video yet, but is it from the last shot of the game? If so, there is definitely a POV aspect to this play.

Would this be a foul at any other point in the game? If a foul is call, can it be defended? Does the NCAA want this fouled called?

Looks like a good no call. The defender landed back and had legal position and then the offensive player jumped into him. Didn't look like when the contact happened the defender was moving forward at all.

I go with no call.

Another interesting play at about the 9:55 mark of the first half.

Higgins is lead and has a bobble on the play. Trail comes in with a travel after you can clearly see Higgins giving the bobble signal.

I do not have a travel because possession was never gained. You cannot travel when no possession of the ball is established.

Thought this play may bring up some different opinions. Oh to be a fly on the wall during that halftime debriefing.

Why? Do you think there is going to be some big argument over the play.

In all of my years of officiating I have only been in the locker room twice for some sort of major disturbance. One time it involved an official at halftime who was just a straight up a$$-hole. I let him ramble on without responding. In 2nd half his arrogant a$$ caused a correctable error situation, so karma got its revenge. The other time was after a game and involved 2 guys who I don't think like each other very much.

I'm always bewildered when folks make comments like there is going to be some sort of big argument in the locker room over a call. We're frickin' grown ups, we better be able to calmly and candidly discuss plays without personally attacking someone and without taking it personally.

I agreed with the no call when it happened and upon replay. Defender did jump towards the shooter but landed and stopped before the shooter jumped into him. The shooter should have just shot the ball first and hoped for the foul second instead of playing for the foul by pretending to shoot.

Exactly. I had the same thing happen in a playoff game. I saw a bobble, gave a bobble signal, partner called a travel.

Made me realize I probably shouldn't have given the signal, cause I'm not going in and arguing an inadvertent whistle there as I didn't know if there was something else I didn't see.

But even if I had disagreed, there'd be no strange blowup at halftime. That has never happened in 28 years, although I've been involved in one post-game thing.
