On the play where the minn guy dunked over getty why was that not a charge but a block? I never played basketball and i dont understand the rules very well
Somebody explain the blocking call on getty.

- Start date
Just to expand on Green's post it's that little semi circle that extends 3' out under the basket. Feet inside, your in the restricted zone no charge allowed to be called only blocking. Feet outside a charge can be called. It was created for player safety by trying to limit contact directly under the basket.
Even if he was outside the arch he may have still been called for a block. He was in great position but ducked out of it at last second
The egregious call was the no call on that Sanders shot they are worrying who it went out last on meanwhile they are completely ignoring the fact it was a mugging
Again seels he was 110 % out of control the ref is not going to reward a player that out of control. Yes he was fouled on both the arm and the body but you have to have some semblance of control. I'd have to see it again but the arm hack was after he lost control if ball or blocked
I watched the replay several times and it should have been called. The defensive player had his arm at an angle into Corey's arm AND hit him on the body. As much as I like contact, Corey was in position to get his shot off with his left and the defender hit him on the arm. It's a foul that has been called in every game I've watched, whether Rutgers or not, and announcers do their perfunctory duty by saying the defender "got him on the arm." I was stunned it wasn't called because of the arm, not the body, but both could have been the basis for a call there.

Could have and probably should have been called but perception speaks very loud. That left hand had no prayer of coming close to going in even if not fouled. Forget that play... 3 times down court we were within 2-3FT of the hoop w/o even a thought of putting up a shot that in itself is scary. If you have a few big guys and they have zero thought of putting up a shot down low that's bad
It's really hard for me to ever say a Sanders shot has no prayer of coming close... he has hit a lot of shots that looked like they had no prayer.
Normally i"d 100% agree but go back and watch where the ball sat in his hand there was no way he was getting that on target he had no where to go with it.
Corry needs to develop the left hand too. He tried to get that ball up there with his right hand
Even if a player's shot has no chance of going in there is always the chance of an offensive rebound and putback. And you are right about circus shots going in. Not sure what the ref saw there since their angles are different than what we see on TV, but what I saw on the replay normally gets called.
I personally don't even think he would have hit the back board with that one if he wasn't fouled.
