re: How was that a foul on Eason?

Reid didn't stay on floor. He jumped. Can't get a charge in the air.

Actually you can. Your feet don’t have to be on the ground for the ref to call a charge.

But no one here said a charge should have been called. It’s a no call.

No you can't. The defender is not stationary and is airborne.

Again, it was and is a blocking foul.

Dude, you literally have said in this thread that if he stayed on his feet that he possibly could've drawn a charge. That means he has a set defensive position. A defender is allowed to jump straight up to defend a shot while maintaining a defensive position. As long as he doesn't jump at the shooter and impede his ability to shoot, no foul should be called. Reid went straight up. The shooter jumped into Reid, initiated contact, and fell down while missing the shot. Just because Reid jumped that does not mean it becomes a "blocking foul." If he had jumped forward into the shooter, it would be a foul. If he brings his hands/arms down into the shot, it's a foul. He did neither.

Dude you can play the ball or defender anyway that you decide but when your chest makes contact with the shooter and knock him to the ground then are probably going to get called for a blocking foul. Which is wxactly what happened. Whether you think the whistle was late or not and it is a huge conspiracy, that was what happened.

That's the stupid shite that I'm saying, dude.

He had a set position and jumped straight up. I watched the play. It's a legal guarding position with no contact initiated. Like you said, if he stood his ground he probably wouldve gotten a charge call. That means he had established a legal guarding position. He jumped straight up from that same position. He didn't knock the shooter down with his chest. Lol are you kidding me with that shite? The shooter dove into him and fell after knocking into him. Which is all perfect defending on Reid's part. He's allowed to stand and establish a defensive position and jump to block a shot with his arms straight in the air.

It was a late bail out call by the official when he saw that the shot was missed. The fact that you're trying to say that someone isn't allowed to jump and that he impeded his shot with his chest is ridiculously funny though.

When the contact is initiated by the offensive player it is ruled incidental contact in the NBA, college, and high school basketball if the defender establishes a legal guarding position prior to the jump and he maintains that position vertically.

It wasn't a foul. It never is a foul. You're allowed to jump after establishing guarding position directly in the path of the offensive player as long as you maintain your established position vertically. Reid did that. He didn't bring his arms down. He didn't jump forward into him. Considering those two things, it is an established legal guarding position, and should've been ruled incidental contact with the rebound going to LSU and the game playing on.

You can knock the shooter down and it's not a foul? He bodied him in the air but whatever you think big guy.

Impossible! Eason is to soft to body anyone, according to posters on this board.
