Louisville-Uc Irvine - refs in the press again (Video)

[Camron Rust]

From the only video I've seen, I can't even say whether there was contact or not. Certainly not good enough to question the call.

Even if there was contact, it is possible that the defender had already poked the ball away making it a lot harder to justify the contact was a foul.

This.

I credit the official for not just automatically calling a foul when the player lunged. Surely they knew that they only had 5 team fouls and were looking for Louisville to commit a foul.

The Irvine player was careless and paid for it. Watching the video it looked like the dribbler lost control on his own before the Louisville player could even try to foul him.

no foul.

gawd I hate dumb coaches when they yell at me to call the Reaching Foul on plays like this

I do not see a foul. Good judgment by Center, he saw the play.

After seeing the additional views, this is an outstanding no call.

Lesson for all of us: do not anticipate the foul, do not assume the foul. Referee the contact from start to finish. Very impressive work by the C to make the correct ruling on this!

Looks like a foul to me. Body then ball.

I don't think the defender ever touched the ball. I also don't think he fouled the player.
