Just catching the Creighton foul…yea we’re seeing the rise of analytics types and non-hoopers. The same folk who be on Twitter and every play ‘that’s a travel’
Not only is that ‘not a foul you call at that point’, that’s hardly a foul you call at ANY point. Usually you let anything after the relase go, and usually you don’t bail out low percentage shots. Is there anything in the rulebook for this? Of course not. But it’s just the natural spirit of the game. Nuance.
That spirit and nuance is lost, so the reactions are on some ‘well that’s what the rule book says so of course you call it’
