Defensive player with early sit down and exaggerated contact. Flop? Offensive foul? or Block?

[Deep Dive Ref, LLC @DeepDiveRef]

Go over your check list... is there a "To and Through" on this play?

[Deep Dive Ref, LLC @DeepDiveRef]

Another great flop (early sit down & exaggerated contact) example and our crew does a great job of laying off the play. Build your recall/toolbox with these types of plays. Discuss them with your crew. This will bring consistency to your game.

[Deep Dive Ref, LLC @DeepDiveRef]

Concentrate on the theatrical and exaggeration by the shooter. This is a flop...

[Deep Dive Ref, LLC @DeepDiveRef]

C/S needs to hustle to starting point. He only sees the end of the play. This is another great example of a defender ejecting early. Aka... FLOP.

[Deep Dive Ref, LLC @DeepDiveRef]

Here is a better flop example. The defender is on here heels & sits down to early. We compound the play by rewarding the defender w/ an offensive foul... IC As the L get wider for better vantage point.

[Deep Dive Ref, LLC @DeepDiveRef]

If you disagree, tell us why?

[Deep Dive Ref, LLC @DeepDiveRef]

Let's go! According to various people, NFHS-CBOA-CIF??? (Don't know CBOA or CIF) have assessed this as a "FLOP".
We 100% disagree. This is a blocking foul by the defender.
Here are the "DECISION POINTS":

Our L is jogging instead of hustling to a stationary position.
The defender is not in LGP. He does not beat him to the position on the floor.
Knee to knee contact
Fall was not exaggerated or theatrical
2 players hit the floor
Protect Airborne shooter
2-person game, Trail is in backcourt

Defender's Right arm is not vertical. This is a shooting foul.

[Deep Dive Ref, LLC @DeepDiveRef]

The post players starts his dribble with a 2 foot hop. This is a traveling violation.

[Deep Dive Ref, LLC @DeepDiveRef]

Does the extra thrust at the end by the screener make this an illegal screen?

[Deep Dive Ref, LLC @DeepDiveRef]

Lead starts his rotation too wide. Should be in close down. This is why he's late to a stationary position. The call is a good layoff by the crew. This a flop/ early sit down.

[Deep Dive Ref, LLC @DeepDiveRef]

This contact affects the RSBQ of the dribbler and it should be called.

[Deep Dive Ref, LLC @DeepDiveRef]

The Trail would be better served to be "sideline oriented" so he ends up in a dependable position at the POC.

[Deep Dive Ref, LLC @DeepDiveRef]

Concentrate on the L arm of the defender. It is not vertical and this should have been a shooting foul.

[Deep Dive Ref, LLC @DeepDiveRef]

Concentrate on the R pivot foot of the dribbler... do we have an axis traveling violation?

[Deep Dive Ref, LLC @DeepDiveRef]

Does the defender sit down early and flop or do we actually have an offensive foul? Does it meet your check list?

[Deep Dive Ref, LLC @DeepDiveRef]

@gobrowns20201 Nothing was done by any official on the court. Apparently, this coach has a lot of power over officials. There's probably no admin support of the officials if they do their job! Anyone else have this issue? Pls let us know!

[Deep Dive Ref, LLC @DeepDiveRef]

Keep an eye on the head coach on the floor yelling at the official across the court. Why do we permit this type of behavior? Should the closest official be a good partner and manage the situation? Good discussion question..

[Deep Dive Ref, LLC @DeepDiveRef]

Same on this play... when does dribble end and do we have a violation?
