I’m kidding, it’s obvious. Awful call.
The defender fell...so in college basketball it’s a charge. Players have to play accordingly sadlyI’m kidding, it’s obvious. Awful call.
Agree. It seems like they just look at the circle. That one wasn't even that hard watching it in real time on the video. There was literally no way the offensive guy could avoid him with how late the defensive guy came in.The addition of the circle underneath the basket made this rule worse. The officials used to try and make the correct call. Since the circle was added if the defender falls down it’s automatically a charge.
Guys are undercutting offensive players and getting the benefit of doubt. It’s probably going to take someone getting injured for this rule to ever change.
Am I the only one who gets even more incensed when the color guy chimes in with; "It's a tough call. Could've gone either way". Seriously?I’m kidding, it’s obvious. Awful call.
100% agree. It wasn’t a tough call!Am I the only one who gets even more incensed when the color guy chimes in with; "It's a tough call. Could've gone either way". Seriously?
Call it for what it is; 'That was a horrible, game-ending call. IMO, they blew it".
Just once...
I would like to see a rule change such that a secondary defender must play the ball--strip it low or block it high. Otherwise, it's a block. Probably too radical for the rules makers, but it would mean more basketball and less flopping (which isn't a basketball play).i lament the fact that defenders play to get into position to get this charge...instead of, ya know, trying to play defense...and stop the defender with a block or pressure...
the defender is not actually trying to play defense...merely stand in the way of the opponent
something is wrong with that scenario
imagine someone did this playing pickup basketball...
if no one would ever do it playing pickup ...should it be part of the sport?
im along the same lines as you...I still wanna see offensive foul calls when the driver is out of control though...no matter if the defender is set or not...primary or secondaryI would like to see a rule change such that a secondary defender must play the ball--strip it low or block it high. Otherwise, it's a block. Probably too radical for the rules makers, but it would mean more basketball and less flopping (which isn't a basketball play).
