Northeastern vs Notre Dame (2/2 Video)
 

Can someone pull the block/charge at 13:45 2nd half in the ND/Northeastern game? Thanks

Video Request. Northeastern-ND
 

Please. 2:43 2nd half. Foul on Northeastern as player is trying to pass the ball.

Just don't see this as a foul on the NE player.

I didn't either.

The strip by the ND player was clean and the Northeastern player did hit him in the face. Accidental for sure but I'm ok with the foul. Tough to call any contact to the face like that incidental.

Defender was legal but not enough for a charge. No call for me.

I'm not so sure the strip was clean. Would like to see the replay again.

There was also another one late in the game (just under 1:00?) on the end line as ND player was driving. The call was block. I'd like to see it again.

That was totally incidental.

You're going to be more specific, I just watched the last 4:00 of this game on DVR and there are no block/charge plays.

If you want a laugh go check out Ed Corbett's foul call and mechanics at 18:35 first half, it's hilarious!

Maybe I mixed up the games. Maybe it was the UAB game. I watched several while work was getting in the way.

Nothing. Play on.

In play 1 the L picked up the defender extremely late. Watch his head from the baseline camera. He's not looking at the defender until the offensive player is already airborn.

First play I'd have a charge, but I could see a no-call.

Second play I have a foul on the steal. He knocked the ball free by hitting his opponent's hand.

Your description is legal by rule:

NCAA 4-18-2

It shall be legal for a defender to accidentally hit the hand of a ball-handler when reaching to block or slap the ball when there is player control with that player’s hand in contact with the ball and when that player is:

a. A dribbler;
b. Attempting a try for field goal; or
c. Holding the ball.

AND

NCAA 10-1-2

A player shall not contact an opponent with his hand unless such contact is only with the opponent’s hand while it is on the ball and is incidental to an attempt to play the ball.

In play 1 if the L gets to the defender earlier does it change his ability to get the call right? Watching it live I thought it was a charge. Play 2 I thought it was a clean steal.APG thanks for clipping all of these videos.

Yes, if he picks up the defender earlier he has a much better chance of getting it right. The defender does nothing illegal so it cannot be a block.

The ncaa videos all year have said only call a charge If you are absolutely certain. He wasn't certain because he picked up the defender late and defaulted to a block.

I think if Lead is already strong side and has more distance between him and the play I think he makes a no call. I know I am more likely to call something small a foul when I am closer to play. When I am rotating across like that and there is a block/charge in the lane it's harder for me to no call because it's right in my lap and looks so big, if that makes sense.

#1. Not a block, that much is certain.

#2. They called the foul on the player passing the ball...presumably for hitting the defender in the face. That is incidental contact to me.

Thanks for getting the clips.

I'm with you on both. The defender did nothing wrong in the first clip. Second play was incidental.
