Opinions on block/charge situation with 4.4 seconds left.

I have a charge, especially since the crew had called a similar play a PC a few minutes earlier.

(btw...I love YouTube. I knew someone would have this posted in a heartbeat)

Murray State beats Tennessee State - YouTube

I have been semi-following this thread since it started. I think Brad and some others have said that they would not have called this a foul because they wouldn't have called it a foul in the first five seconds of any period. I can live with that consistency of call even though I would have called it a charge at any point in the game; everybody knows my mantra: CHARGE IT!! But that is another story.

The problem I see and Brad and others agree with me, is the mindset that some officials have: let the players decide the game. Players DO decide the game, and if this was a foul in the first five seconds of the game it had better damn well be a foul in the last five seconds of the game because players decide the game not the officials.

great no call. If anything its a block, but you can't really see how much contact occurs from that angle.

A block? Why?

BNR, my point exactly. My position was at times officials will not make that call towards the end of the game. Opposed to making a similar call in early parts of the game.

Not at this level. At least not if they want to move on.

Are you sure in the judgement of the official the screens were not incidental contact? You know basketball is a contact sport.😉

I saw at least 2 3-point baskets made because one of the Illinois's bigs illegally stepped in front of the defender. Quite a few others I would've shipped in my games, too.

I agree.

A no call by me in first five minutes and at end of game.

I said if ANYTHING its a block, meaning no way its a charge. From that angle it doesn't look like LGP is established, B1 leans over into the path of A1. In this case it doesn't look like this created a significant disadvantage to A1.

Hypothtical; if the existing level of contact would have caused A1 to lose the ball out of bounds does this no-call become a call? I'm just curious.

I can see that.
