You people can’t see that was an illegal screen? Which also should not have been called. That’s a play on.

He called it a block and then changed it to charge? Terrible work by official.

 

Can't be a charge if it was called on the defensive player.

 

The announcers kept talking about a charge but you can only charge if you have the ball, right? I guess block is the right call when it comes to nomenclature but the ref should have signaled "pushing" on the Western player.

 

No matter the situation, I absolutely hate that play.

The only way I see an illegal screen is due to not giving him time to stop. You have to give the player time to stop when he is moving. His foot being off the floor or him moving backwards at the time of contact is not illegal.

 

It would also be illegal if the foot of the screener was OOB.

The best part is that the Wisconsin player's foot was out of bounds which makes him an illegal defender and should've been a foul on him giving the ball back to WKU.

No because it wasn't an illegal screen IMO.

His foot wasn't out of bounds. Go watch the video in the twitter link Wireman posted. The second angle clearly shows his foot in bounds.

Why did the official on the baseline signal block if it was a charge? I thought the guy from Wisconsin didnt have his left foot planted when contact was made (I watched it live) and replay confirmed it for me. Thought it was a bad call. But thats a play 4th graders are taught.

 

Agreed

Here are some more reasons why it was a terrible call and home cooking at its best:

Reading that then yes, it should have not been a foul on WKY. If the feet being wider than shoulders is a violation then I assume Wisconsin player should have been called for illegal screen.

To be perfectly honest, I didn't know that was a rule either. I think the referee should have been on top of that though. Too tough to tell if his foot was on the line so I don't think that can be used.

I thought the call was OK. The ref just made a mistake in signaling what the call was...kind of like a football ref mistakenly calling a penalty on the defense when it was really on the offense. It was corrected immediately. I don't like the strategy employed by UW to draw the foul but it's legal so what can you do?

I thought it was a foul on WKU. There were other calls/non calls that bothered me more. Tough loss.

 

It appeared in the video that the Wisconsin player was falling backwards before contact was made. That’s either a blocking foul or a no call. Preferably a no call.

I hate these type calls.

 

Dan Issel was fouled out of the NCAA regionals in 1970 by a little guard who was running across the floor toward Big Dan while Dan was catching a pass close to half court similar to how a receiver would catch one over his shoulder in football. The guard ran under him and both went down. Should have been a blocking foul on the guard but they called Dan’s 5th foul which contributed to UK losing in overtime to Jacksonville.

 

I’m still mad about that bogus call and it’s been 48 years since it happened, lol.

You'll never see a foul called on the picker unless his feet are way outside his body.

Watch it again. Starts to fall when defender's right arm makes contact and then the body makes contact. If the official sees defender try to stop then he can let it go. If he doesn't see him stop it's a foul on the defender.
