West Virginia vs Maryland (Video 2/2)
 

Illegal screen around the 15:00 mark in the second half. Completely missed by all 3 and it was brutal IMO. By brutal I mean the contact, not in a dirty way.

I was going to request this vid as well.

Admittedly, I was in full fanboy mode during this game but I thought it was a pretty egregious miss by the crew.

If it was the one I saw in the FB official's forum, I agree, that is just something that can't be missed.

Completely inexcusable miss. Eades was right there with a clear view of it and was either ball-watching or just decided not to call it (which would be an even bigger indictment).

I thought this sparked like a 4-5 minute span where I couldn't figure out some of the rationale behind what was called and not called.

You can see the C was behind a player and couldn't see anything cuz if you look close he's trying to get around a player to see. Eades probably stayed with ball to the hoop which is why I bet he missed it. C needs better position....but obviously this can't be missed..

And then when all 3 miss such an obvious call, why didn't they review it for possible flagrant/elbow?

They must have heard the player hit the floor and wonder what might have caused it. The coach/players were pointing it out too. With all that, why not meet and review?

They went to the monitor during the next timeout, and ruled it wasn't flagrant.

Now, this is the type of miss that should cause crew members not to advance.

Can I request the pass and crash at 1:14 in the second. The crew called block.

That isn't even in a foul in the Baltimore / Washington playgrounds during the summer. C'mon DEECEE, you know you can't call that at Berry Farms......BNR are you getting soft in the 757 ???? Guess I'll find out next month...

Shall we discuss the illegal screen that was called in the Mavs/Grizzlies game that should not have been called, followed by an ejection?

Yes, lets. Here is the play: Stoudemire Tossed | NBA.com

What basis do you have to think John Adams would pull an NCAA tournament game over that call? :D

Pulling a game is a lot different than not advancing to a game no one has been assigned to yet. ;)

Play 1: Illegal screen

Play 2: Team control

Awful miss.

Trail should have picked up that illegal screen, ball had left his primary.

1) At what point does it become two guys just running into one another?

I ask because I had a play this year where the two wing guards were looping through the lane to switch sides and one of the offensive players and the opposite defender just didn't see each other and slammed into one another. I had no call since neither player was more responsible for the contact than the other. Is that wrong?

2) that pass and crash looks like an easy PC

A tie goes in the offense's favor as far as I'm concerned. In the rare case its a loose ball and 2 players are going for the ball I would tend to pass. Either way it's not cut and dry, but in collisions I have always been taught to have a whistle.

You can tell the intent of the offensive player was to screen here. He's focused in on that player and in someone of a screening position. When two guys just run into each other they are usually looking the other way. Not to mention he completely took the defender out of the play. It's just judgement.

Watching that game, I was certain those 2 plays would show up here.

That illegal screen/miss was a game changer. Did Trimble even come back into the game after that?

On the second video, WOW! The Maryland player was there so early. I can't see how that was missed.

Slot missed the illegal screen.

And nowhere near a block. A no-call would have been less inaccurate.

I say that screen is on the Trail. A1 had turned the corner and the Trail was still looking at him. The C should have had A1 at this point, and the Trail should have switched to off-ball coverage.

I actually see #44 White pushing the dribbler (from behind) into the defender on the second play. I might not have seen that in real time.

Would that have changed if they made the call?

This foul is rather egregious in my opinion, so any of the three should grab it.

When the ball is up top, the T has it, agreed? If so, then the C needs to look at next point of attack - either a drive or a pass. The player in front of him is not contested, so he gets about 10% of the C's attention. Next he looks to the key, and sees action by A. I think reading the play is very important here. This foul can be picked up by the T, but the C should have it as well, imho. If the C has it, and the T has it as well, I think the T should defer to the C. If the C didn't get it, then the T goes with it.

Yes, then got kicked in the face by his own teammate. Not a good day for Melo.

It's possible that foul shots may have resulted earlier. And calling a foul does have an impact on the reaction of some coaches.

But if that player didn't return to the game, having a call here, I agree, wouldn't have changed that fact. (Assuming that's what you're getting at.)

I still can't believe they missed that screen. So inexcusable.

Of course the call/no-call had nothing to do with Trimble's contribution, after that play. My statement was a simple observation, with no intended fault-finding on the part of the officials.
What I meant was that Trimble seemed to be really affected by the contact - he really took a shot on that play - and sat on the bench most of the rest of the game. And, the kick to the face he received, as noted by BNR, not long after that play, didn't help . . .
