He was giving the ball back to the Cavs anyway and probably did not see the contact as obvious. And LBJ took on about 3 guys too which also would make me pause on a close contact play like this.

Peace

Thank you. That is an answer.

I can't see that in the video but I also can't see that he was straight up. I can't argue that a foul is correct or not here.

The supplemental factors that you mention, however, are indeed real in determining if an advantage really did occur even if the contact was no in the defenders vertical plane. Given that LBJ had no where to go whether Noah was legal or not could easily make a foul a non-foul.

I am pretty sure I said the same thing earlier. But either way a foul gets called there we are not talking about free timeouts and what players are going to do during a review.

Yeah, that sends Van Gundy into all-out rant mode.

His rant did so much damage to common sense too. I have heard nothing about this as if the refs are at fault that the rules are what they are, all because that fool talked about something that was not illegal or unethical.

Jeff VanGundy is, plain and simply, a moron. He was an average coach, and is an awful color commentator at best. He offers knee jerk reactions and has never articulated anything that would give the impression that he put some thought into what he was saying.

I used to think Bill Walton was the worst. But he's Ahmad Rashad compared to JVG.
