Contrary to popular belief, the defender does not need to be standing still.

@CespedesBBQ: since the beginning of 2011 season, the UConn women's basketball team is 4-6 against Notre Dame and 139-4 against everyone else

That is absolutely incredible.

They could totally beat the Knicks LOLZ

Speaking of UConn, did anyone see what Geno had to say about men's college basketball?

Yep... he's wrong, but kinda right a bit too.

Well he's right about the pace of play being a problem and I also think he's right that a lot of people confuse crappy offense for good defense.

Yeah I agree on that... he was a dick though.

i didn't say he had to be standing still. I said he had to be set, which you said you didn't need to be..which is wrong.

However, with the off ball defender generally gets called for a charge if the feet aren't set and he is essentially standing still. N

But that goes back to my original point...that call has to be changed.

People hate it when others tell the truth.

I was assuming you meant he had to be standing still, which is what you seemed to be saying, and I'm betting you did mean, because you're comments don't make sense otherwise. It was a clear charge unless you think the defender has to be stationary to get the call. He went right into the defenders chest. And nothing needs to be changed about that play specifically in the rule book; it was just a terrible call.

It's a combo of everything.

If they see your feet moving, as an off the ball defender, in the college game, they call the block every time. Every single replay, the announcers focus on the feet and see if they are moving as an off ball defender. Every time.

And it's not that you have to be standing still, but you can't slide or get in the way of the defender at the last minute.

When you watch that play, the angle from above appeared to show him sliding, ever so subtlety, into Winslow as he was going up. The problem is, I don't think it was definitive that he did move.

At real game speed, that's a 50/50 call every time in the college game.

Exactly what I speculated.

Still not sure I believe it though.

It almost had to be true though...no one you can miss that.

Or the Lakers.

The Lakers have won far too many games already this year.

How convenient.

How convenient.

Lol....this has been brought up several times in college bball games, which is why I brought it up.

Still have a hard time believing it.

[SportsGuy]

In case it wasn't clear why every Duke game is televised....
