Sorry, it wasn't a tackle. Vasturia got his hand on the ball


Feb 11, 2015, 3:11 PM

watch the replay

J.B. goes up for the shot at the 1:47 mark in the video here:

http://www.tigernet.com/story/basketball/Final-shots-drop-Irish-avoid-upset-Littlejohn-13524

the last time the ball hits the floor before Rod Hall goes down, the ball is closer to Vasuria than Hall


not a dirty play

not an intentional take-down

a foul? maybe. IMO a reasonable no-call with both of them going for the ball.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

100% foul


Feb 11, 2015, 3:15 PM

You're right they were both going for a loose ball. The both got there, but the Tiger was standing on his feet and the defender was leaping into him. It's simply a foul. Not a dirty play at all, but 100% foul.

Not why we lost. Not blaming that at all. But it is a foul.

2024 orange level memberbadge-donor-20yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up


nope, he didn't leap into him


Feb 11, 2015, 3:18 PM

he went straight for the ball.

when he starts his dive Rod is 3 feet outside the 3-point line and Vasturia comes down right on the line.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

He lept to the ball, of course


Feb 11, 2015, 3:21 PM

But when he landed he landed through the legs of a Tiger who has just as much right to that spot as the defender. It's a foul. Again, not dirty, and not why we lost. In fact I'd argue we had a better chance ultimately with it not being called as we got a decent crack at a 3, and aren't known for being good from the line for the tie.

But it is a missed foul. One of the sort that is missed all the time, but a foul none the less.

2024 orange level memberbadge-donor-20yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up


It would have been a foul if he have dove into Marcus Page

Re: Sorry, it wasn't a tackle. Vasturia got his hand on the ball


Feb 11, 2015, 3:28 PM

You can block a shot, but if you make strong body contract is a foul call. Same applies here, don't tell me you've never seen a foul called on a steal lol Plain contact/trip/tackle whatever you wanna call it was made. It wasn't 2 players getting their feet tangled...it was a foul.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Interesting, I didn't know that rule. You can dive right


Feb 11, 2015, 3:43 PM

through a guy as long as you touch the ball.

No one has said it was a dirty play. But it was a foul. The Tigers had many chances to not let it come down to that play though.

2024 white level memberbadge-donor-10yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up


look at it closely and slowly


Feb 11, 2015, 4:44 PM

if you stop it just before it moves from 1:49 to 1:50; you'll see that he did not dive "into" Rod

when he dives - straight at the ball - Rod Hall is 3 feet from the 3-point line

Vasturia lands on the line after getting his hand on the ball


a few folks have called it a 'tackle' or a 'chop-block' ala GaTech... they're wrong

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

he dove to the ball.


Feb 11, 2015, 4:54 PM

The Tiger was there, standing, and gaining possession of the ball when he landed on his legs.

It is, quite simply, a foul.

2024 orange level memberbadge-donor-20yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up


you have your sports confused.


Feb 11, 2015, 5:29 PM [ in reply to look at it closely and slowly ]

It's soccer that you can take out the other player if you get to the ball first...not basketball.

It's like knocking a player down after a shot and claiming you touched the ball so it isn't a foul...

don't see any part of your reasoning that makes sense.

2024 white level memberbadge-donor-10yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

equal right to the loose ball, it's that simple


Feb 11, 2015, 6:54 PM

and Vasturia was closer when the ball hit the floor - it bounced just inside the arc behind the free throw line with 8.2 seconds left

at 8.1 he's still closer, but the ball is bouncing toward Hall.

their hands hit the ball at the same instant at 7.9

Hall never had possession. he had put both hands on the ball, it's much more likely a foul

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Re: equal right to the loose ball, it's that simple


Feb 11, 2015, 8:17 PM [ in reply to equal right to the loose ball, it's that simple ]

So if it's a loose ball then you should be able to push any player out of the way, as long as you're going for the ball right?

It was a foul, and it should have been called.

But there was spotty officiating both ways last night, so it didn't surprise me that they swallowed the whistle.

badge-donor-05yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Indeed, equal right to the ball


Feb 11, 2015, 9:09 PM [ in reply to equal right to the loose ball, it's that simple ]

Not equal right to going through the other player trying to get the ball

Re: equal right to the loose ball, it's that simple


Feb 11, 2015, 11:19 PM [ in reply to equal right to the loose ball, it's that simple ]

There is no burden of intent in sports. It doesn't matter why or how he made contact. In fact, the ball could have been bouncing right beside of him. Doesn't matter. You cannot go thru another player. Period. Contact was made. And you even admitted so. That is a foul. End of story.

You need to take half your name away. Tarheeled needs to be your moniker,nowhere do you deserve to add "tiger". You would fit in well with the rest of those cheating,blue-bellied ######## in Chapel Hill. Do you think a foul would have been called if Hall played for uncheat. You know the answer. uncheat would receive the death penalty for all of their academic fraud if the NCAA had any guts. Yes,Dean and Roy were part of the farce. Excuse me,but that is the real way I see it.

any Wolfpack message board to rile NC State fans over an issue like this and especially never to show bias for Clemson.

It just seemed like a silly and useless thing to do, so I drew my paycheck and kept my mouth shut.

Since you work for Clemson, but pull for UNC, I honestly don't understand your purpose or motivation here ...

there were several posts about the 'tackle' or the 'chop block' IMO they were wrong.

the debacle involved one academic department out of more than 70

the hours 'earned' in the paper classes represent a miniscule fraction of the number of hours earned in the time frame, something on the order of one-sixth of one percent

typical troll response you are a joke #### off. That was a foul in every since of the word. You are not allowed to dive adn take out a players legs.

that battle and for a second had control. The ND player's momentum carried him into Hall's legs taking him (Hall) to the floor. It was a bang bang play which was a struggle for this particular crew to deal with (see back court violation called late).

Re: looked to me like Hall barely touched it


Feb 12, 2015, 1:54 PM

If the ball isn't even in the equation, it's still a foul. The ball position is irrelevant. The fact that the ball is even involved is also irrelevant. Contact was made = foul.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

It doesn't matter if you're going for the ball.


Feb 12, 2015, 6:59 AM

You cannot run through or reach through an opponent at any time, anywhere on the court. The foul rules just don't disappear for a loose ball. This is a frequent and egregious violation often not called by the referees. It's not a legal scrum on the floor. If you lay on an opponent, it's a foul. If you tackle an opponent (with or without the ball), it's a foul. If you reach through an opponent's arms or legs, it's a foul. If your right shoulder hits the opponents ankle and causes him to trip and fall, it's a foul. Also, Vasurius' layup had a phantom foul called on Ajukwa. Connaughton's drive to the basket had a completely bogus foul called on Nnoko who was just standing there, very still with arms down. Nnoko also was called for a foul in the first half for a completely legal and immobile pick. The refereeing left much to be desired. There were multiple plays, not just one, and they clearly changed the outcome of the game. Clemson outplayed Notre Dame most of the game. It's a shame to see this outcome. Now, if we can get someone better than Hall (i.e., a motivated Harrison) to play defense on the opponents best player, we would have a better chance.
