Slow motion replay on the last play

If what you claim is true, then it's a charging foul on Beal (as Majok was outside the circle.) So why wasn't the charge called???

"Luuuc, players are allowed to move, it's part of playing offence and defence"

Yeah, thanks for that ;)

I never said they weren't. I was just (a) rebutting the claim made earlier that Majok was "straight up", which the video clearly disproves, and (b) objecting to your dismissing of the whole conversation with "It's a clear no call.". That's pretty flippant IMO considering there were several big conversations about the call with decent points being made on both sides.
IMO the fact that Majok was moving laterally at the time of the contact adds another layer of ref interpretation to a decision that already had other elements to consider as well, and any additional interpretation required --> increased amount of doubt --> tougher call to make.

If there is not even "any question of a foul" to you on that play then IMO you're not looking very carefully.


Like I said in my first post on the subject, if that was consistently left as a no call in this league then I'd be just fine with that. But based on the way the sport is being officiated atm, it was far from an obvious clean block.

also, the nbl needs to stop calling soft fouls

It goes against the tagline of the season saying "Hard ball' as its marketing catchcry

There is nothing "clear" about the call at all, paul. Given that both players are moving and there is body and arm contact on the shooter, there are quite obviously aspects that will be up for debate.

^Very true that, did you see how upset Jawai was at not getting the pill in the dying minutes, he was livid and understandably so...

Don't care about the last call, Beal shouldn't have gone there, poor decision.

Get tired of people blaming refs for losses, players and coaches make just as many mistakes during a game, but all the fans want to do is focus on the refs. It's a cop out to deflect from your team.

3 offences in a row we chucked up under pressure 3 pointers in the last rather than getting to Knight or Jawai , who were killing it on the inside. And Beals D on Holt in the last play was ordinary, why was Martin not subbed in specifically for that play is beyond me

If they were being consistent they would have called the foul on the body contact alone. Ok, they missed that. Then if they were being consistent they would have called the foul on the follow through arm contact. Ok, they missed that too.

I've no problem with the no call (or call if it were) but again it's the lack of consistency within games and across the season that is still the biggest concern with the reffing.

I was watching it live too, with my son and we both thought it was a foul immediately, but so many fouls, no calls and flops in the game, so where do you draw that line?

Looks like a foul, feels like a foul, smells like a foul, probably is a foul!

Watched the play via normal play mode.
Question is, if you were a fan of one or the other, what would have been your verdict.
Easy saying good no call etc, but if that was ur team, would u have felt cheated walking out the carpark.

So exactly what I said then. Moving laterally and quite a lot.

Foul or not, minor or obvious, the first 1 second of the video linked at the top of this thread makes it plain as day that he was anything but "straight up"

Haha, no, clearly moving laterally and quite a lot

Actually, watching that in slo-mo, that's a lot of body contact for a guy with zero defensive position. Should have been a foul. Unlucky.
Them's the breaks.
Was a hell of a game.

Watching the game I actually assumed they had called it a foul until I saw everyone's reaction.

Usually that's a foul, although I wish it wasn't. If they consistently leave that as a no-call for the rest of the season it would be better for the game IMO.

Watched the game on tv, saw the full speed replay at the time, thought nothing of it until seeing this thread just now.

Maybe it's a foul, maybe it's not. But I wouldn't be taking the refs to task over that one ever. Maybe you get that call 1/4 times.

Thats a foul. Dont like Perth but in fairness of a game, they should have called it.
If the difference was 11 points, they would have.
Shonky reffing

Majok just takes a massive swipes and hits arm and ball at roughly the same time.

No foul on follow through? tell that to Kobe.

Thanks for uploading!

I'm with Sirjump. Minor contact on the follow through. Play on.
