(Note: in slow motion and zoomed to the foot it can be seen that the foot slides maybe 2-3 cm-s, however this can be seen only in zoomed play.

The minimum is the offensive foul but it is much better to call it unsportsmanlike.

3646 days B223 Free throw Blue 15 enters the free throw lane before the ball leaves the hand of the free throw shooter. What is your call? If the free throw shooter commits a violation all other lane violations shall be disregarded. Throw-in for Blue is the right decision.

4377 days A462 Acting It's a really difficult situation from referee perspective. It's not so easy to decide in the replay if the contact is really that big or player flops. On the spot official did not see more than it can be seen on video. The basket cannot count, because the act of shooting started at the time of the contact. If officials believes it was flopping, then team and its coach needs to get a warning.
4377 days A461 Post play In the fight between the centre players the offender pushes a little inside to the defender. Both of them accept it. The contacts are mutual, and not rough enough to call the dual-fault. It's acceptable in the fight between them. No call.

4384 days A457 Advantage-Disadvantage The defender pushes the centre player from the back when he gets the ball. In this situation the principle of advantage - disadvantage can not be applied, because it's not obvious that the offensive player will turn by the defender. It's better to call it immediately, because if these contacts are not called, game can get out of control.
4387 days C85 Responsibility-Competence 3PO Primarily it is the lead's responsibility to call the travelling, because he is the one, who can see the offensive player's feet clearly, and the moment, when the ball leaves his hand.

4396 days A452 Act of shooting 12 white falls on the offensive player at the moment when he has not started the act of shooting. But the contact takes longer, even when the offensive player starts the shooting.

4404 days A444 Act of shooting The defensive foul lasts longer than a moment. The starting is before the act of shooting, but the end is during the shot. In such cases we have to choose the moment, which is more beneficial to the team that didn't commit the foul. Basket counts.
4404 days C81 Responsibility-Competence 3PO The call is not in the centre's responsibility area, and he can not see between the players, so this situation is not his competence. The centre don't have to call this foul, the lead had to, because it's his responsibility and also competence. As to the centre, it is just guessing.
4404 days C82 Responsibility-Competence 3PO The foul happens in the lead's responsibility area, but because of the referee's positioning he cannot see the space between the players, so he doesn't see the push. The centre can see it perfectly, and he calls the foul correctly. That is why we talk about the importance of the centre official. The help is perfect, because it is his competence to call the foul.

4455 days A426 Acting White 10's falling is a clear and spectacular flopping to fool the referees to call offensive foul.

When the offensive player jumps, the defensive player stands inside of the semi-circle but while the offensive player is in the air, the defender moves some centimeters forward and when the contact occurs he stands then outside of the semi-circle. In this case the most important momentum should be when the offensive player jumps because after that he is not able change his position in the air.

4659 days C77 Positioning 3PO When the offense starts from right to left, the referee on our side is the trail. The lead starts the rotation, but neither the centre nor the trail have a reaction. Then the offence's direction turns around and both of the referees run on the base line. If the offense turn around, then the referee who runs to the base line has to have a look back to see if there is the new trail on his side. The centre makes it, that's why he runs to the base line and we can see that he try to show for his partner not to run down on the base line. The referee who is nearer to us is responsible firstly for this situation, that there are two referees on the base line.
4659 days C76 Responsibility-Competence 3PO The ball is passed outside the three-point line. Then the restricted area belongs to the lead, and so does the 3 seconds violation. In this situation he had to call the 3sec.

4677 days A391 Post play BLACK 15 wants to make some space for his partner and pushes his opponent. The ball has not left the hands of the shooter yet, when the foul is committed so the basket could not be good.

4684 days A388 Charge-Block The offensive player pushes away his defender with the elbow, then the defensive player is not anymore vertical, but it is really hard to decide on the video if he touches the ball with his hands.

4698 days A386 Charge-Block The defensive player establishes his legal guarding position outside of the semi-circle. The offensive player jumps into him and the contact happens on the torso. OFFENSIVE FOUL.
4699 days A385 Advantage-Disadvantage Red player commits a clear charging foul. The contact happens before the other could possess the ball. The charging foul is more acceptable then using the advantage-disadvantage principle because the other team could not get any advantage with a no call, they can only have an outnumbered situation.
4699 days B127 3, 5, 8, 24 seconds The offensive player has already spent 6 seconds in the restricted area when he receives the ball.

4710 days A382 Responsibility-Competence 3PO Lead official should move towards the other side of the basket to see the window between the shooter and his defender. Center official is not in the right position to call because he hasn't got the clear vision either and he could only guess.
4710 days B125 Travel-Dribble The player does not hold the ball while he falls over and stands up so he does not have a pivot foot and he cannot commit travelling violation. It is legal to stand up while he dribbles the ball.
4710 days A381 Screening The offensive player screens legally and the defensive player embraces him and pushes him away. DEFENSIVE FOUL.
4712 days A380 Advantage-Disadvantage This is a good example of the opportunity to advantage-disadvantage rule. As it is not about the last defensive player, we cannot call unsportsmanlike. Normal foul is more appropriate but here the referee should decide whether the no call is more favorable for the offensive player. In this situation it is clearly right, because they are outnumbered and the movement of the ball handler is continuous.
4712 days C73 Responsibility-Competence 3PO This situation is neither responsibility nor competence of the lead but the trail.
4713 days A378 Advantage-Disadvantage The defensive player is clearly vertical and he does not commit any foul. Even if he would be illegal then we have to also apply the advantage-disadvantage principal because he passes the ball to his teammate standing unguardly under the basket.
4713 days A379 Screening The offensive player screens legally and he is not moving. The defensive player flops and therefore he has to be warned during a dead ball situation.

4720 days C72 Positioning 3PO If the players pass the ball on the weak side (from the lead's view) then most of the times he should run on the ball's side. There is an exception, when the ball is immediately shot, like in this situation. The centre can control the shot perfectly.
4722 days B121 Goaltending-Interference The defender touches the ball in its upward flight then he hits the backboard but he does not cause to vibrate the basket. No call would be the correct decision.
4722 days C71 Responsibility-Competence 3PO The centre has to decide the goal-tending, not the lead. But if there is such a fast break, and the lead will not reach his place and that's why he has a perfect view on the ball, so it's not a mistake if he decides if it touched the backboard.
4723 days B120 Goaltending-Interference The ball is in its downward flight when the defender touches it. Goaltending, basket shall be awarded.
4723 days C70 Responsibility-Competence 3PO If there is a rebound situation, the lead always have to be right on his place to see if the players catch each other.

4727 days C69 Responsibility-Competence 3PO In these situations, when the block is over the basketball ring , the lead can not make a decision in the absence of perfect view because of the backboard.

4728 days C67 Responsibility-Competence 3PO To call this foul is the task of centre, it's his competence, because he can have a look between the two players. It's true, that the situation happens on the lead's responsibility area, but he can't decide about the extent of the contact because he sees just the defender's back. The centre has the good position to call.
4729 days C66 Positioning 3PO At the time, when the ball was passed under the free-throw line on the right side, and the player who gets the ball didn't shoot it but started dribbling, the lead has to start the rotation because none of the referees see between the two player to check the small contact
4729 days B118 Travel-Dribble The defender could land on the floor without causing a contact with the offensive player.

4739 days C63 Positioning 3PO The lead shouldn't stay on the same place during the offense. When the player who makes the shot gets the ball, he has to move under the basket, because if not, none of the referees can see between the players to decide if the defender is vertical.

4748 days C60 Responsibility-Competence 3PO It's a good example for the situation which does not happen on the centre responsibility area, but it's his competence, because he is in the best position to see between the players, and even has to take an eye on the player who makes the throw-in.

4758 days C57 Positioning 3PO The lead shouldn't run so leisurely. He should cut the corner and run behind the players to see the split. From this angle where he calls he couldn't see the contact, so he is just guessing. It's a bad guess.

The basket can be granted legally and the white team will continue the game with a throw in.
4763 days A351 Verticality All the white players jump vertically. NO CALL.

4919 days D20 Game control 4 white uses his elbow, and hits his defender's neck. Offensive foul should have been called against him.

4920 days A279 Charge-Block Defensive player's movement is legal, he moves laterally and backwards.

4921 days D19 Game control The coach gets his technical foul because of his behavior. But after this he keeps it on and goes on talking with disrespectful gestures. The coach can not "buy" the "opportunity" of continuing this behavior with a technical foul, that's why he should get another technical foul, and he should have been disqualified.
4921 days C47 Responsibility-Competence 3PO Triple call. Centre should have not called. It is out of his responsibility because he cannot see the contact itself.
4923 days A276 Advantage-Disadvantage It is hard to decide if white touches the ball after red does. However, red player runs to get the ball and white pushes him, so red has got no chance to reach it. Personal foul against white.

4931 days C45 Responsibility-Competence 3PO Triple call. Centre should have not called. Push occurs before act of shooting starts, score does not count.
4931 days D18 Handling conflict The referees shouldn't let the coach talk to them in such appropriate way, even not after a technical foul. He should get the second one immediately and he should be disqualified.
5041 days A267 Act of shooting There is only 0,2 sec left, offensive team obviously wants to make a tip-in happen. When ball comes in, offensive player jumps in his cylinder, but the defender is not vertical, and contact is made by him. Foul should be called. Tapping is considered as an act of shooting, so two penalties should be given.
5041 days A268 Unsportsmanlike Green player steals ball and starts approaching the basket. Contact by his opponent occurs from his back and from the side. It is an UNSPORTSMANLIKE foul.
5046 days A266 Unsportsmanlike Defensive player approaches his opponent from the front, and he intends to hit the ball. There is a defensive player between player with the ball and the basket, so unsportsmanlike foul cannot be called. Defensive foul.
5046 days A265 Use of hands Defensive player's movement is legal. He reaches his arm towards player with ball in order to prevent a pass. Offensive player holds his opponent's arm to his armpit to make the official believe that his opponent commits a foul. It is an OFFENSIVE foul.

5053 days A264 Unsportsmanlike Defensive player intends to get the ball, and he succeeds in it, he touches only the hand of his opponent, which is legal. They fall down. Either no call or defensive foul shall be called, but unsportsmanlike foul cannot be called under any circumstances.

5057 days A262 Special situations In the clip there are two fouls, both happened during the shot. Although the first one is committed from the side, there is another player between the player with ball and the basket, so NORMAL DEFENSIVE foul should be called. At the second foul defensive player jumps in front of the opponent, and intends to block the ball, foul occurs, and contact is not that tough. Foul should have been called as well. In such cases officials had better call the first one and ignore the second. Two penalties should be given.

5063 days A258 Unsportsmanlike Offensive player starts the act of shooting when contact occurs. Normal personal foul, goal counts, and a plus penalty should be given.
5066 days A255 Charge-Block If defensive player does not stand inside the no charge semi circle, then it is an OFFENSIVE foul. (If he does, it is a no call.)
5066 days D17 Special situations It is an interesting situation, which happens rarely. The trail calls a double foul, correctly, because both player hold each other. Then the offensive player starts the move of shot, and after a second the lead calls foul against defender. In this moment, the ball goes dead, so the second call shouldn't be taken into consideration. If the basket would get into basket, it should be cancelled, because when the first foul happened, the ball didn't leave the shooter's hand.
5067 days B86 Backcourt No backcourt violation occurs as the offensive player has not been in his front court with both feet.
5067 days A254 Unsportsmanlike Offensive player uses his elbow consciously. Normal personal foul is too moderate to call, it is at least an unsportsmanlike one, but taking into consideration that he contacts opponent's head, an unsportsmanlike foul can also be called.
5067 days D16 Rare situations It's a rare situation. The foul is hard, so he should get unsportsmanlike foul. When the ball touches the floor the shot ends, and the ball goes dead. The basket is cancelled. The correct decision is: 2 free-throws and possession at side line.
5068 days A253 Charge-Block Defensive player does not establish the legal guarding position in front of this opponent. Defensive foul.
5068 days A252 Unsportsmanlike It is a fast break. Green 14 is the only player between player with the ball and the basket. However, player is on front of his opponent when contact occurs, and it is not a tough one, cannot be considered as an unsportsmanlike act. The principle of advantage/disadvantage does not apply here, because this contact makes player with ball stop his continuous dribble. Normal DEFENSIVE foul.
5068 days A251 Unsportsmanlike There is a defensive player between player with ball and basket. Contact is not tough, it cannot be considered unsportsmanlike. It is a normal DEFENSIVE foul.
5070 days A250 Game control Defensive player establishes legal guarding position on time. Player argues heavily with wide gestures so technical foul has to be called in order to keep game in the right track.
5070 days A248 Act of shooting Offensive player starts the act of shooting, and contact occurs for a longer term, so goal counts.
5070 days B85 Travel-Dribble The offensive player attempts to pass the ball after a dribble
5070 days A249 Charge-Block Defensive player establishes the legal guarding position, but he stands on the line of the no charge semi circle, so its rules cannot apply here. Player still owes the ball when contact occurs, so OFFENSIVE foul and goes does not count.
5072 days A245 Charge-Block Defensive player moves laterally and backwards., but contact is on arm and shoulder, so it is DEFENSIVE foul.
5072 days A247 Unsportsmanlike Defender seems to intend to step under shooting player and push him. This act is risky. UNSPORTSMANLIKE foul is the right call.
5072 days A246 Screening Screen is legal. However, defender bumps into screener and he may have got injured. Official should decide to stop the game or not, and here they do, and since this does not put offensive team to a disadvantage it is the right way.
5073 days A243 Screening Screen is illegal and contact is so tough that even UNSPORTSMANLIKE foul could be called.
5073 days A244 Acting Defender's movement is legal. Offensive player falls down, which is a flop. It is a no call, and team (player and coach) should get a warning for flopping, or if there had been before, then a technical fouls should be given to flopping player.
5073 days B84 Travel-Dribble The defender establishes a legal guarding position and he is not responsible for the contact. While the offensive player attempts to make a layup, he loses his balance and lands on his pivot foot before the ball releases his hands on a shot for a field goal. Travelling violation.
5077 days D15 Administratif Interesting situation, where the referees take the decision after watching the video. On the spot they made the basket count. Our voting tied (50-50%). Nobody is able to make a decision without the video, but after checking it the right decision would be the cancelling of basket. The reason is that the ball didn't leave the player's shooting hand when there the red sign with sound appeared.
5077 days A242 Unsportsmanlike Contact is irrelevant (if there is any). Unsportsmanlike foul cannot be called, because there is defender between the player with the ball and the basket. No call would have been the best call.
5078 days B83 Travel-Dribble The ball is bounced high but it does not come to rest in the player's hand that's why it is legal play. Travelling violation cannot be occurred when the ball is not in a player's hands. Legal.
5078 days A240 Screening The player that sets the screen respects the element of time and distance of his opponent in motion when contact occurs and he is stable. Screen is legal. No call is the best call.
5078 days A241 Verticality Offensive player fakes a shot, and his opponent jumps up. He could fall back to floor to a place where he would not contact anyone. It is the offensive player that intends to contact his opponent in order to make the officials call a defensive foul. There is no need for intervention by the officials, no call is the best call.
5086 days A237 Screening Offensive player commits a foul when using his hip. Defender flops a bit though, but still the screen is illegal.
5086 days A238 Act of shooting Question is whether shooter has started the act of shooting when foul occurs. That the ball leaves the shooter's hand matters only when offensive team commits a foul. Contact takes longer here. And still applies when player starts shooting. The right call is that 3 points count, and ball stays with white team.
5087 days A235 Unsportsmanlike Defensive player does not intend to get the ball, he pulls back opponent that would be about to score after passing by. UNSPORTSMANLIKE foul.
5087 days B82 Goaltending-Interference The defender touches the ball in its upward flight before the ball touches the backboard. Legal play.
5087 days C43 Game control Coach is not allowed to behave like this. Kicking the ball deserves to call a technical foul.
5093 days A233 Charge-Block Defensive player establishes legal guarding position on time inside the semi-circle. If he was outside, OFFENSIVE foul should be called, but this way NO CALL is the best call. (Other kind of rules apply in NBA.)
5093 days A234 Unsportsmanlike Defensive player does not intend to get the ball, and he commits a tough foul. It is an UNSPORTSMANLIKE foul.
5093 days A232 Screening The player that sets the screen does not respect the element of time and distance of his opponent in motion when contact occurs. Illegal screen is the right call.
5097 days A230 Acting Defensive player falls down after an irrelevant contact. He also uses his own arms to push himself away opponent. No call is the best call, and a warning to team (player and coach) should be given.
5097 days A231 Acting White 13 hangs into his opponent's arms and try to fool officials that foul was committed against him. It is an OFFENSIVE foul.
5097 days C42 Responsibility-Competence 3PO Triple call. Lead is the odd man, he shall not call, because he cannot see the space between players. Player started the act of shooting, so basket counts.
5098 days A229 Double foul Both players intend to make a contact with each other. DOUBLE foul is the best call.
5098 days B81 3, 5, 8, 24 seconds It is legal play because the player goes out of the restricted area when 3 seconds are passed.
5098 days A228 Charge-Block Defensive player establishes the legal guarding position, offensive player uses his arm as well. It is am OFFENSIVE foul. Although there is no need for an official warning to player and coach, it is reasonable to inform him to stop doing it.
5100 days C41 Positioning 3PO Bad positioning by lead. He is only guessing. He should have moved to the other side of the basket, but since he did not, he should have trusted his colleague.
5100 days A227 Post play Red player pulls his opponent down under the basket. Foul has to be called. As red team does not owe the ball when foul occurs, no penalties should be given. Game shall go on with thrown-in for white, from sideline.
5100 days D14 Correctable errors It is not the right player that shoots the free throws. According to the rules the first free throw should be cancelled, and the ball should be given to the other team. The aim of the rules is to punish if a team wants to have a different player to shoot penalties, by misleading the referees. It's obvious that this situation is not like that. Because there are two situations where fouls could be called, the player stays on the free-throw line, because he thinks the foul was called for his benefit. The referees make the right steps by cancelling the free-throws, and asking the right player to have the shots.
5103 days A225 Advantage-Disadvantage White player intends to help the ball stay in-bounds, but red 8 pushes him from his back. This small touch puts offensive player to a disadvantage, so foul against red 8 has to be called.
5103 days B80 Goaltending-Interference Violation does not occur in the last or only free throw. Goaltending and basket counts 1 point.
5103 days A226 Advantage-Disadvantage Offensive player falls down because of white 5's leg. Although it is not intentional, foul shall be called, because it puts his opponent into a disadvantage.
5104 days A224 Unsportsmanlike It is difficult to decide. Defensive player is eager to hit the ball, but he reaches only opponent's wrist. It only seems to be tough, because of player's falling down, but it is actually not that relevant. Normal personal foul is the right call, but it can depend on the atmosphere of the game, unsportsmanlike fouls also can be called.
5105 days B79 Out of bounds The ball touches the floor within the boundary and the player does not touch the ball while he is out of bounds. Legal play.
5105 days A220 Double foul Red player holds opponent's and force him to let him go to the basket. Defensive player pulls him to the floor almost at the same time. The best call is DOUBLE foul.
5105 days A222 Charge-Block Defensive player establishes the legal guarding position, but he stands of the line of the no charge semi circle, so its rules cannot apply here. OFFENSIVE foul is the right call, and at the moment of the contact offensive player still had the ball in his hands, so goal does not count.
5105 days A221 Administratif When throw-in, and the ball is at disposal of a player official should make sure that his colleagues are also ready to continue.

5106 days A219 Act of shooting Offensive player started the act of shooting when his opponent hits his arm from the back. Two penalty shots should be given.
5108 days B77 3, 5, 8, 24 seconds The first shot is blocked and the ball does not touch the ring. The 24-second clock sounds before the ball releases the shooter's hand on a shot for a field goal. Basket shall not be valid. 24-second violation.
5108 days A215 Act of shooting Player has started the act of shooting when contact occurs. Goal counts and a penalty shot should be given.
5108 days A216 Act of shooting As we can see in slow motion the contact happens when offensive player starts holding the ball. It is difficult to decide if he started the act of shooting or not. When it is such a border-line case then we should put that team into advantage that did not commit a foul: goal counts and one penalty should be given.
5108 days A217 Act of shooting Foul occurs when player dribbles the ball. The act of shooting starts only after it. Goal does not count and throw-in comes at sideline (expect for the case when team is in penalty situation.)
5111 days C40 Responsibility-Competence 2PO That is why it is forbidden for both officials to focus on player with ball. Lead shall be the one that calls fight between 19 black and 11 white.
5111 days A214 Use of hands Defensive player put his arms to his opponent's way, that blocks him. DEFENSIVE foul.

5112 days A213 Game control A normal foul against black 8, and a disqualifying foul against white 11 (hit) should have been called. Both officials should have seen the fouls. Lead leaves to his next position in order to get ready for a fast break. He MUSTN'T do that. He should stay there, and even should approach to the basket.
5112 days A212 Charge-Block Defensive player moves laterally and towards his opponent. He pushes him with this movement. It is a DEFENSIVE foul.
5112 days A211 Use of hands Defensive player blocks his opponent. Nothing should have been called.
5113 days A209 Charge-Block It is a very good example for applying the rules of no charge semi circle. When defensive player reaches the line of the semi circle, then OFFENSIVE foul should be called (it cannot be seen clearly), but in case he stands inside the semi circle no call is the best call.
5118 days A210 Act of shooting Official calls a foul for the first contact, but offensive player has started the act of shooting already then. Penalties should be given.
5118 days B76 Travel-Dribble The player fumbles the ball. Fumbling is not considered as a dribble. Legal play.
5118 days A208 Charge-Block OFFENSIVE foul should have been called.
5122 days D13 Rare situations Self basket is very rare to happen.
5122 days A207 Unsportsmanlike There is a need for calling against the offensive player. If this movement cause by him is clarified unintentional, then a normal offensive foul shall be called, if it he does it on purpose according to the officials, then UNSPORTSMANLIKE foul should be called.
5122 days A206 Charge-Block Offensive player pushes his opponent with his lower arm. Although defender wants to highlight it, a foul still needs to be called. Defensive player is practical to be warned not to flop.

5153 days B73 Travel-Dribble The offensive player lifts his pivot foot before the ball releases his hands on his dribble. Travelling.
5153 days A198 Use of hands Steal is legal. When defensive player catches the ball he is allowed to touch his opponent's hand. No foul should be called. Only the lead official is responsible to call. Referee should go through the other side of the basket to see scene perfectly when penetration starts.
5153 days B74 3, 5, 8, 24 seconds The blue player spends too much time (around 6 sec) in the restricted area. 3-second violation shall be called.

5159 days A196 Unsportsmanlike Defensive player intends to kick the ball. This movement cannot be considered as a proper act on basketball court. He causes a contact with his opponent, so the best call is UNSPORTSMANLIKE foul.
5159 days A195 Charge-Block Offensive foul is evident. In such cases if ball gets to the basket officials need to decide whether contact occurred when player had the ball or already shot it. If he had shot it, goal counts and there are two penalties for the other team, if not, then goal does not count and other team will get the ball from sideline.
5159 days A194 Unsportsmanlike Defensive player does not intend to get the ball, his only intention is to prevent his opponent to get a goal. It is an UNSPORTSMANLIKE foul.
5164 days A192 Act of shooting Player with the ball starts the act of shooting when contact occurs. 2 penalty shots should be given.

5164 days A191 Advantage-Disadvantage Good example of applying the principle of advantage/disadvantage. During the fast break contact is irrelevant, and does not put offensive team to a disadvantage, so no call is the best call.
5172 days A172 Advantage-Disadvantage In such situations using the principle of advantage/disadvantage is risky. The best would be to call a personal foul, probably everybody would accept it.
5172 days A166 Charge-Block Typical OFFENSIVE foul. Defensive player is situated over the no charge semi-circle in a perfect legal guarding position. Offensive player jumps towards him and commits a charge.
5172 days A176 Charge-Block Defensive player establishes the legal guarding position on time. It is a charge. The call should be made even if player passes the ball.
5172 days B69 Goaltending-Interference The ball has touched the basket then a defensive player touches the ball. Goaltending, 2 points shall be awarded.
5174 days A189 Charge-Block This clip is a good example for applying rule of no charge semi circle. Defender is inside the semi circle, in a legal guarding position. Offensive foul cannot be called. Also contact is irrelevant, and he is eager to fall down, but this act cannot really be considered flopping. However, lead official should unofficially warn defender not to fall down after that contact.

5174 days A188 Charge-Block Defender establishes the legal guarding position outside the semi circle. Contact is on torso. OFFENSIVE foul.
5174 days A190 Charge-Block Offensive player jumps towards his opponent. Defender is in his cylinder and has established his legal guarding position.

5178 days A184 Double foul During post play white player starts holding his opponent while defensive player pulls him. Both players commits personal foul almost at the same time. Double foul is the best call.
5178 days A183 Unsportsmanlike White 5 pushes his opponent without intending to get the ball. It is an UNSPORTSMANLIKE foul. Act of shooting has not started when push occurs, because offensive player just starts dribbling then. The right call is goal does not count and 2 penalties plus ball from half court. In case of not calling anything for the push, the second contact should have been called as a foul, at least.
5178 days A182 Unsportsmanlike After the stolen ball there is a fast break. Defender does not intend to get the ball and pulls his opponent's arm back. It is an UNSPORTSMANLIKE foul. There is no need to investigate if there are defensive players between him and the basket.

5181 days A180 Post play Red 5 moves towards his opponent and pushes the player with the ball a bit. Although the offensive player would be able to go on, but such calls should be made after contacts in order to keep the game in the right track.
5181 days A179 Charge-Block White 15 has established the legal guarding position, and contact is on torso. The rule of no charge semi circle does not apply here, so OFFENSIVE foul should be called.

5183 days B70 Foot The player does not kick the ball deliberately, the referees correctly apply no call.
5184 days A178 Other Defensive player approaches and touches his opponent for a moment. This should be a no call. Then offensive player puts his arm behind his opponent and starts dribbling. Contact is irrelevant, and defender is not responsible for it. No call is the best call.
5184 days A177 Verticality Defensive player establishes the legal guarding position on time. It is the offensive player who jumps towards his opponent and defender's arms are almost vertical. Foul against defender should not be called. No call would have been the best call.
5186 days A175 Act of shooting The shooting player's arm goes down when contact occurs. The act of shooting starts only after the foul. Call is good, no penalty shots shall be given.
5186 days A174 Double foul In such post plays officials have to see the whole action. Green player starts searching for the contact (push). If we are unable to decide which one started, then double foul should be called. Here foul shall be called against green player.
5186 days A173 Act of shooting Offensive player has started the act of shooting when contact occurs. If he continued the shooting movement, two penalty shots should be given, but he changes his intension and passes the ball. NORMAL PERSONAL foul, no penalties.

5212 days B67 3, 5, 8, 24 seconds The offensive player spends more than 3 seconds in the restricted area and he does not attempt to shoot that's why he commits a violation.
5213 days A168 Goaltending-Interference If a player touches the ball through the basket it is interference. If it is made by defensive player then goal counts, and no matter where the shooter was it is worth 2 points.
5215 days A167 Unsportsmanlike White 14 steals the ball and there is no defensive player between him and the basket. In a situation like this the principle of advantage/disadvantage does not apply. UNSPORTSMANLIKE foul.
5216 days B66 Travel-Dribble After fumbling the ball nobody touched it, so when offensive player touches it again with two hands his dribble finishes. After that he is eligible to pass or shoot, but not to start another dribbling.
5218 days D12 Game control The ball gets into basket after free shots, so it is dead, the game time stops, so then the referee has the opportunity to warn the players, and also prevents violent actions on the court.
5225 days A165 Charge-Block Blue 5 faults in front of white 11, who falls through him. Foul against blue 5 shall be called.
5225 days A164 Verticality Establishing a position defensive player pushes his opponent a bit, a foul could be called. However, during the act of shooting there is nothing to be called, the defensive player is in his cylinder
5226 days C37 Positioning 3PO When there is a shot trail should get closer to basket and stay there until new possession starts. If he does not do that he is not able to help at a rebound situation. It applies in two-person officiating as well.
5226 days C38 Responsibility-Competence 3PO Lead must not look at the basket, he should focus on foul 'down'.
5227 days A163 Unsportsmanlike During a fast break, if a player started his act of shooting and the defender intends to get the ball (not from the back) and the contact is not heavy that there is no need for an unsportsmanlike to be called, it is a NORMAL PERSONAL foul.
5227 days D11 The blue 11's personal foul is obvious. The reaction of the player who is on the floor pushing down the other player of himself is understandable, no call against is needed. They got into an argument with each other, so both of them could get a technical foul. Many times it helps the referees to keep the game under control. But it is not good that all the three referees get involved in the separation of the players. The referee that stands the furthest should be out of separation, watching them, to see if there is any fight, then call the foul and even disqualify.
5230 days B65 Goaltending-Interference The ball is touched in its downward flight. Illegal play, basket counts.
5230 days A162 Act of shooting Contact (push) occurs when player started the act of shooting, then he makes the layup. Two penalties should be given.

5275 days A152 Unsportsmanlike Player starts the act of shooting when an irrelevant touch occurs. Normal PERSONAL foul, 2 penalties.
5275 days A151 Acting Defender blocks his opponent with his right knee, then he falls down in order to make the official call an offensive foul. Defensive foul is correctly called. Since it is a border-line if he has started the act of shooting or not, then goal counts and a penalty shot should be given. Defensive player should be warned for flopping.

5280 days B59 Goaltending-Interference After an official blows his whistle, any player shall not touch the ball. The referees made the correct decision by awarding the basket and giving 1 free throw.
5286 days A144 Act of shooting Offensive player started the act of movement, contact occurs after it. Penalties should be given.
5286 days A143 Screening The player that sets the screen does not respect the element of time and distance of his opponent in motion when contact occurs. Illegal screen is the right call.
5287 days A142 Unsportsmanlike The movement itself is not considered to be unsportsmanlike, and there are defenders between the player with the ball and the basket. It is a normal defensive foul.
5287 days A141 Other White is in a better position to get the ball. He clashes with blue player. Foul against blue player should be called.
5409 days D10 Table problems The ball didn't touch the ring, so it is not in white team's process. The 24sec was reset wrongly. If the referees notice the wrong reset, they should stop the game to correct the time.
5410 days A140 Post play Offensive player uses his hands to push his opponent a little back, who finally falls down. Although OFFENSIVE foul is the right call, defender shall be warned not to flop.
5413 days A138 Acting Offensive player flops that there was a foul made by his opponent, that is why he fell down. No call is the right call, and offensive player and his team should get a warning because of flopping.
5414 days A137 Charge-Block The defensive player establishes the legal guarding position on time and contact is on the torso. It is an OFFENSIVE foul. The rules of the no-charge semi-circle cannot apply here, because it is not a shot, but player dribbles.
5416 days A136 Acting Defender falls back after a small contact in order to make the official call offensive foul. No call is the best call and blue team needs to get a warning about flopping.
5420 days A135 Double foul When establishing a position the two players fight heavily. Movements like this should be removed from the game in order to keep it in the right track. Double foul is a good call. As white owes the ball, then it will stay there, with no new shot clock.
5425 days A134 Charge-Block Defender established the legal guarding position. Contact is on torso. OFFENSIVE foul.
5425 days B58 Travel-Dribble Red 14 uses his left foot as his pivot foot then he takes a step with his pivot foot. Travelling violation.
5425 days B57 Goaltending-Interference The ball has already touched the backboard and it is above the level of the ring when the defender touches it. Goaltending violation.
5429 days B56 Backcourt The player prevents the ball from touching the backcourt although he steps on the backcourt afterwards but he is not in contact with the ball. Then he catches the ball after he returns to the frontcourt. Legal play.
5430 days A133 Acting Offensive player, although there is a small contact - flops in order to make the official call a foul. This should have not been called, it is FLOPPING.
5434 days A132 Unsportsmanlike Perfect example for unsportsmanlike foul. Defensive player does not even intend to get the ball, he pushes his opponent's back.
5437 days A131 Verticality Defensive player jumps in his cylinder. No foul should be called. Lead can only see the back of the player, he cannot see the space. GUESSING!
5440 days A129 Screening Player that sets a screen moves when screen occurs, and this contact puts opponent to disadvantage. OFFENSIVE foul should be called.
5440 days A130 Act of shooting Offensive player started the act of movement, contact occurs after it. Penalties should be given.
5441 days A128 Act of shooting Defensive player blocks his opponent by his thighs. Contact occurs before the act of shooting would start, so if no team penalty situation, no shots.
5441 days A127 Acting Screen is legal. Defender intends to flop by falling backwards. He needs to get a warning, or it had previously happened, then a technical foul should be called.
5443 days A126 Unsportsmanlike Neither of the players intends to get the ball. Either of them can be charged with an unsportsmanlike foul. Here that one that committed the foul earlier should be punished, or the one whose act was more evident. Here foul for white 12 may be better.
5444 days A124 Charge-Block It cannot be a no call. Defender has established the legal guarding position. Contact is on the torso. OFFENSIVE foul.
5444 days A125 Screening Player that sets a screen has to be in a standing position when screen occurs. But here he moves when contact occurs. OFFENSIVE foul.
5445 days B55 Travel-Dribble White player finishes his dribbles and lands both feet on the floor. In this case, either foot can be used as his pivot foot. Legal play.
5447 days A123 Unsportsmanlike Defensive player intends to get the ball, but he touches also hands. Contact is not tough enough to call unsportsmanlike, so it is a NORMAL PERSONAL foul, two penalty shots.
5447 days A122 Charge-Block It cannot be a no call. Defender has established the legal guarding position and contact is too heavy. OFFENSIVE foul.
5449 days B54 Travel-Dribble The offensive player establishes his left foot as his pivot foot and he keeps it in the same spot. Legal play.
5449 days A121 Charge-Block Defensive player moves laterally and backwards. Contact is on the torso. OFFENSIVE foul.
5450 days B53 Travel-Dribble We cannot see clearly if white player touches the ball. If yes, no violation occurs. If no, then white 10 commits a double dribble violation by catching his own pass.
5450 days D9 Complex It's an interesting situation, where there can be even two good calls. The defender touches the ball with his leg, which is to be called. And after that the offensive player falls down because of his leg, so the defender should get a foul. Firstly the referee could call defensive foul, but also he could call foot violation by ignoring the defensive foul , because it happened a little later.
5453 days B52 Travel-Dribble It is tough to decide if the defensive player touches the ball. The decision is correct if he does not touch it. It would be legal play if the defender touched the ball.
5453 days A120 Charge-Block Difficult situation. Defensive player establishes the legal guarding position on time in front of his opponent, with two feet on the floor. However, contact is not on the torso, but on the shoulders, so offensive foul cannot be called. No call cannot work either, because contact is too heavy and it puts offensive player to a disadvantage. DEFENSIVE foul is the right call, plus a penalty. However it is important to mention that the lead is not positioned perfectly, it would have been better if he could see the space between players.
5455 days A119 Act of shooting Player has started the act of shooting when foul occurs. Basket counts. It is reasonable to be shown immediately, not during the communication towards to table officials, so that everybody accepts it.
5455 days A118 Charge-Block Offensive player intends to contact by pushing him with his shoulder. Official is situated perfectly and calls the OFFENSIVE foul.
5456 days C34 Responsibility-Competence 3PO Disqualification is a good call. That is why it is important to look off-ball players as well.
5456 days C33 Positioning 3PO Official is not able to position well, he cannot see the space between players. Although player establishes a legal guarding position, there hardly is a contact on the body, he only touches his opponent's arm. Defensive foul.
5458 days A116 Unsportsmanlike White 10 kicks his opponent with his thigh. Even a disqualifying foul could be called.
5458 days A117 Verticality Defensive player follows his opponent and causes a small contact. This contact puts the player with the ball to a disadvantage, because he loses his balance a bit. Two penalties should be called.
5461 days A115 Verticality White 13 establishes the legal guarding position in front of his opponent. Contact is caused by the offensive player with leaving a bit his cylinder. NO call is the best call.
5461 days D8 Game control Such unsportsmanlike behavior shouldn't be banned from basketball court. The red player should be disqualified.
5462 days B51 Travel-Dribble It is not a travelling violation if a player falls on the floor while he is holding the ball. Moreover he loses the control of the ball in this situation.
5462 days A114 Unsportsmanlike If player causes tough contact with using his elbow, it is at least an unsportsmanlike foul. In the clip it can be seen that he does it consciously, and there is a tough contact. It is a DISQUALIFYING foul.
5463 days A113 Advantage-Disadvantage Yellow 8 and blue 4 fight for the ball. However, yellow is in a better position, and blue pushed him why intending to catch the ball, and it puts him into a disadvantage. Personal foul against blue 4 shall be called.
5463 days B49 Goaltending-Interference Nice block, but is it legal? If ball left shooter's hand and it is in its downward flight above the ring then it is not. Difficult to decide, but it seems it is legal, so no call is good.
5463 days B50 Foot Only deliberately kicked ball is considered as a violation. In this case it is obviously accidental. No call would be the correct decision.
5465 days B48 Travel-Dribble Blue player takes two steps slowly that's why it seems to be a travelling violation but no violation occurs. Legal play.
5465 days D7 Complex There are a lot of happenings in this situation, but the referees didn't call, correctly. No football to call, and no travelling to call when player is on the floor.
5465 days C32 Positioning 3PO Lead is positioned too close to the situation. If he was further from the baseline, he would see situation from a higher angle and would be able to see that offensive player steps on the baseline. Sometimes you are able to see better from a proper distance (travelling, out of bounds).
5466 days C31 Positioning 3PO Lead should rotate to the other side of the penetration in order to see the space between the players.
5466 days B47 Foot Either touch of foot is accidental. Legal play.
5466 days A111 Act of shooting When white player hits his opponent blue player has already started the act of shooting. Penalties should be given.
5466 days A112 Screening The player that sets a screen is pushed. Lead calls a foul correctly. However, he flops intensively, giving him a warning is the right way.
5468 days A108 Verticality White 13 jumps in his cylinder so he is not responsible for the contact. NO call is the best call.
5468 days A109 Unsportsmanlike It is a good example that official had better use no call. Since 'there is no defender between the player with the ball and the basket' does not apply here then only normal foul could be called. Although it would put the offensive team to a disadvantage, and offensive player's movement is not really affected by this contact, and he must be able to score a goal.
5468 days A110 Acting Defensive player is ready to fall down for the smallest contact caused by his opponent. The relationship between the contact and the defender's reaction is not valid. No call is the best call, and defender should get a warning.
5468 days C30 Responsibility-Competence 3PO Call may be right, but it shall not be called by trail. It primarily should be the lead, secondarily the centre that decides if it was a foul. Trail is far from the situation and cannot see the space between players.
5470 days B46 Complex The referee who gives the ball to the player shall run toward the center line. It is not a backcourt violation because neither foot is in contact with the line when he catches the ball but an obvious travelling violation occurs.
5470 days A106 Act of shooting Offensive player has got the ball in his hand, so he has started the act of shooting. Goal counts and a penalty shot should be given.
5470 days A107 Act of shooting It is difficult to decide if the act of shooting has started or not. Holding the ball in the hands is not a criteria. If it is such a border-line case then in this case 2 penalties should be called.
5473 days A104 Post play Both defensive and offensive player look intend to contact. The post play seems intensive though, but no one harms. During the shot offensive player causes contact with his arms, it would be reasonable to warn him about. No call is the best call.
5474 days C29 Responsibility-Competence 3PO Lead must not call in such situation. It is out of his responsibility. He does not see the space between the players, and foul occurs over the penalty line.
5474 days A102 Unsportsmanlike It is not a fast break. Two players intend to catch the ball while running towards the sideline. Normal foul is a good call. It is not an unsportsmanlike foul.
5474 days A103 Charge-Block Offensive player establishes the legal guarding position on time, and contact is on his torso, so foul is caused him. However, the contact is small, there is no need for any call, in addition the other defender blocks the ball, No call is the best call.
5475 days C27 Responsibility-Competence 3PO Lead should move to a position from where he would see the space between the players. He is just guessing here. Here trail should get closer to the basket and call. But even centre could call. To sum it up: this situation is absolutely out of lead's responsibility.
5475 days C28 Co-operation 3PO Lead make a bad decision from this camera view. Red touches the ball last. However, he immediately takes a look at his colleague, initiates communication and he changes direction. It is the way it should work. It is important that the official that made the call should correct himself.
5476 days A100 Charge-Block Defender establishes the legal guarding position in front of the offensive player, with two feet on the floor, and contact is on the torso. OFFENSIVE foul.
5476 days A101 Charge-Block Defender moves laterally, but when contact occurs then he moves in front of his opponent as well. In addition he hits the shooter's hand as well. DEFENSIVE foul.
5477 days B45 Travel-Dribble The player's right foot is on the floor when he catches the ball. Then he puts down his left foot and lifts his pivot foot (still legal). The ball shall release his hands before he lands on his pivot foot. However he puts it down. Travelling.
5477 days C25 Responsibility-Competence 3PO This situation happens in lead's authority and he is the responsible one. He is in a perfect position. Trail cannot see anything that cannot be seen by lead. If you make a call out of your authority is has to be well reasonable.
5477 days A99 Charge-Block Defender establishes the legal guarding position in front of the offensive player, with two feet on the floor. He moves laterally, and the contact is on the torso. OFFENSIVE foul.
5478 days A96 Charge-Block Difficult situation. It seems offensive foul for the first sight, because contact is on the torso. When seeing it in slow motion we can see that defender is not on the place of the contact when his opponent jumps. It is a defensive foul. The act of shooting has not started, and goal does not count. (No call would be a good option as well, because in that case goal would count.)
5478 days C24 Responsibility-Competence 3PO Defensive player blocks with causing a minimal contact, while they both have almost the same position to the ball. No call seems right. Defensive player may commit a foul with his right arm, which cannot be seen by trail, because he can only see their backs, so he should not have called.
5478 days A97 Verticality Defender causes contact with his waist. It is a defensive foul, goal count, plus one penalty should be given.
5478 days A98 Unsportsmanlike During a fast break defender intends to block. If it hard to decide if it happened or not. Small contact was caused in offensive player's elbow. No way is it an unsportsmanlike foul, even normal personal foul can be questioned.
5482 days A95 Acting Green player gets a rise out of referee with starting holding his defender's arm. Center should have called, not him, because the right call is OFFENSIVE foul.
5483 days A94 Unsportsmanlike White player - after losing the ball - leaves his legs in front of his opponent, who falls down because of them. It is an unsportsmanlike foul, but if official thinks this action was by intentionally, then even a disqualifying foul can be called.
5483 days B44 Travel-Dribble The offensive player uses his left foot as his pivot foot and takes steps with his right foot but he lifts his pivot foot before the ball releases his hands on dribble. Travelling violation.
5484 days A93 Screening Screen is legal. Contact is caused by offensive player. No call.
5485 days B43 Travel-Dribble The player takes 3 steps, travelling violation. The block is legal as the ball is touched in its upward flight.
5486 days A91 Charge-Block The first contact is an offensive foul, which should have been called. However, player should be warned not to flop. The second contact was a very good no call, because defender jumped in his cylinder.
5486 days A92 Acting Defender falls down - flops - before the actual contact happens. Offensive player falls because of defender's legs. It is a defensive foul. Since offensive player started the act of shooting, two penalties should be given.
5490 days A90 Unsportsmanlike Defensive player does not intend to get the ball. UNSPORTSMANLIKE foul.
5490 days C23 Responsibility-Competence 3PO When positioning for the rebound yellow holds red player's shoulder. Lead must not look at the basket (as he does not here), he should concentrate on players.
5491 days A88 Advantage-Disadvantage Difficult situation. If official calls a foul, then it happens before the offensive player starts the act of shooting. Maybe here ref should have ignored contact with the principle of advantage/disadvantage. But we cannot see if player makes the lay-up later or not.
5491 days A89 Acting Although offensive player's movement cannot really be considered as legal, his opponent falls down after a small contact. Good no call from referee. However, this player should have a warning not to flop again, and in case of having been previously warned, a technical foul could be called.
5492 days D6 Other The white defender (A) hits the ball out of offensive player's (B) hand without a foul, then B makes foul on A. The referee calls foul against B correctly. Even if it's the black teams fifth foul, there are no free-shots, because the black team possessed the ball. The white player couldn't touch it.
5492 days C22 Responsibility-Competence 3PO At the centre line offensive player is trapped by two defenders. Trail is positioned well and does not call. Lead wrongly calls. These actions make our reputation lower.
5492 days A87 Screening Screen is not legal, because screening player moves a bit. It has to be called, but a warning to defensive player should also be given. Taking into consideration the difference between the extent of the contact and the movement of the offensive player no foul shall be called, yet the defensive player should get a warning because with this act he incites the spectators.
5492 days B42 Throw-in After the official gives the ball to a player and he passes the ball to his teammate to make the throw-in. It is illegal. He is allowed to do it only after a basket.
5493 days A86 Unsportsmanlike Red player causes a tough contact. He intends to set offensive player back from finishing his shooting movement. UNSPORTSMANLIKE foul.
5493 days C21 Responsibility-Competence 3PO Official cannot see if defender touches ball or hand. Although it happens in his authority it should be the centre that calls if needed. We must not guess. Trust our partners.
5493 days A60 Advantage-Disadvantage Defensive player hugs his opponent behind him. Since there is a goal no call is a good call, but if there is a rebound then it should be called.
5494 days A85 Unsportsmanlike After white 15 loses the ball he intends to steal it back. There is a defender between the offensive player and the basket, so NORMAL PERSONAL foul should be called.
5495 days B40 Backcourt After a rebound yellow player gains control of the ball and it is touched by a red player and the yellow player loses the ball but the yellow team still has control of the ball when a red player touches it at the center-line, that's why the red player cannot commit a backcourt violation.
5495 days B41 Out of bounds The red player jumps off in bounds then he touches the ball. Later the ball touches the white player who is out of bounds. Throw in shall be awarded for red team.
5496 days A84 Unsportsmanlike There are defenders between the offensive player and the basket. The foul itself is not tough. NORMAL PERSONAL foul.
5497 days A83 Unsportsmanlike When this game was played different rules applied. Now according to the rules when there is no defender between the player and the basket UNSPORTSMANLIKE foul should be called.
5499 days A80 Act of shooting Player started the act of shooting but he cannot finish is because of the foul. Since he does not change his intention of shooting then 2 penalties should be given.
5499 days A81 Unsportsmanlike During a fast break player does not commit the foul in front of the offensive player, and there is no defenders between him and the basket. Although contact is not big, UNSPORTSMANLIKE foul should be called.
5499 days A82 Verticality White 11 does not jump in his cylinder but towards the shooting player. Although he reaches the ball with his hand, with his body he causes a contact, which cannot be ignored. DEFENSIVE FOUL.
5500 days A79 Act of shooting Player started the act of shooting when contact that official calls occurs. Goal counts, and a penalty should be given.
5501 days C16 Co-operation 3PO Lead feels that he was showing the wrong direction, so he initiates communication with his colleague. He comes to the conclusion that he needs to change his decision. In such situation the partner should take a small step towards his colleague to indicate that he is eager to help, but the one that called should ask for help. In this clip you can see the way it should work!
5501 days C17 Responsibility-Competence 3PO The illegal screen by the baseline is on lead's authority and he is responsible for it. He shall not look at player with ball, it is trail's responsibility. He should be positioned towards the paint. Fortunately trail helps.
5501 days C18 Responsibility-Competence 3PO Lead must not call here. It is not in his authority and he is not responsible for it. With calling this he may humiliate his colleague, because it shows he does not trust his partner.
5501 days C19 Responsibility-Competence 3PO It should be the centre that calls this goaltending, he is the one that can see the arch of the ball. Here it may not start its downwards flight.
5501 days C20 Positioning 3PO Perfect call, but mechanics could be better. When ball gets to the paint, lead should start rotating. When player gets the ball lead should be at the edge of the paint. Trail starts change position, which should only happen when centre initiates it.
5502 days C15 Handling conflict It is a good example to see how we can help our colleagues in handling conflicts. The one who does not call goes to help to calm down the player.
5502 days B39 Free throw During the last free-throw the jumping players cannot enter the restricted area before the ball has left the shooters hands. Here the defensive and the offensive player steps inside way before it. As the ball goes into the basket the violation should not be called.

5502 days C14 Act of shooting Ball left shooter's hands when signal sounds. Goal counts.
5502 days A78 Charge-Block The defensive player has established the right position. The offensive player charges into his opponent. OFFENSIVE FOUL. In penalty situation there are no shots for the other team, and basket cannot be scored because the offensive player holds ball in his hands when contact occurs.
5503 days B36 Advantage-Disadvantage When the offensive player receives the ball, he takes more steps than it is allowed. The question is if we can apply advantage-disadvantage principle. No. He takes at least two more steps than it is allowed and he does it because the defender plays good defense. Travelling violation shall be called.
5503 days B37 Goaltending-Interference Legal play? The backboard and the defender touch the ball approximately at the same time. The rule says: goaltending shall be called if the ball has already touched the backboard when a player touches it. No call shall be applied.
5503 days B38 Travel-Dribble The ball comes to rest in the offensive player's hands. Palming violation.
5503 days B30 Jumpball (situation) The question is: how to turn the arrow. After the jump ball, the white player touches the ball last before it goes out of bounds. The red team has the first possession of the ball, so the arrow shall be turned in the favor of white team after the throw in.
5510 days A76 Unsportsmanlike During a fast break defender stands in front of the offensive player and intends to get the ball with causing a small contact. Normal defensive foul.
5510 days A77 Act of shooting Defensive player slips, it is a normal foul. However, offensive player has started the act of shooting, so officials should give two penalties.
5512 days A73 Verticality The defender player first establishes the legal guarding position before his opponent jumps to shoot. Then defender jumps in his cylinder. No call is the best call.
5512 days A74 Acting That small contact is made by offensive player, but defender flops. Here no call is the best call, but not giving a warning to defender is not right. He should get a warning, or if there was one previously, then a technical foul should be called against defensive player.
5512 days C13 Responsibility-Competence 3PO Lead should get closer to the basket when penetration happens. However, in this situation he would not be able to see anything even if he was getting closer. Here it is only the centre that can see what happened. Lead shall not call. The right call would be two penalties. Lead should communicate with centre to make the good decision.
5512 days A75 Screening Player that screens puts his leg to the defender, which should have been called.
5515 days B35 Travel-Dribble The player's left foot is on the floor when he catches the ball, it becomes his pivot foot. He can lift it for a shot or a pass but he cannot put it down before the ball releases his hands. In this case, he takes two steps and moves his pivot foot. Travelling.
5515 days A71 Charge-Block Defensive player establishes a perfect legal guarding position, contact is caused by his opponent.
5515 days A67 Act of shooting Defender causes contact with jumping towards the player who intends to shoot. If player with the ball finished the movement, then penalties should be given, but now he changes his intention and passes the ball. No penalties, only if team has got 5 team fouls.
5515 days A68 Unsportsmanlike The steal does not seem to be perfect, but this is not to investigate here. Black 8's movement does not need an intervention by the officials, he intends to avoid making any contact. No call is the best call. However, if official calls, it cannot be normal, only UNSPORTSMANLIKE foul.
5515 days A69 Charge-Block Defender moves backwards and laterally. However, he is not considered to having been on the place first, as contact is not on torso but on the thigh. DEFENSIVE foul.
5515 days A70 Advantage-Disadvantage Since there is a player between the player with the ball and the basket, then unsportsmanlike foul cannot be called (the act itself cannot be considered as unsportsmanlike). Offensive team does not have any disadvantage after the foul made, so here advantage/disadvantage applies, and NO CALL would have been the right call.
5515 days A72 Screening Offensive player moves when screening. ILLEGAL SCREEN.
5519 days A65 Acting Defender hits the ball with no contact and offensive player flops as it was a foul. It is a good example to see that in three-person officiating if you can not see the space between the players, then do not make a call. Guessing.
5519 days A66 Verticality Defender moves backwards and laterally, then after he jumps he still stays in his cylinder. Contact is made on offensive player's right arm, it is his foul. NO CALL is the best call.
5520 days A62 Advantage-Disadvantage Offensive player gets into a disadvantage by defender causing contact and he loses the ball. Here the advantage/disadvantage does not apply, DEFENSIVE foul shall be called.
5520 days A63 Verticality Defensive player causes the contact with running into the defensive that runs towards the baseline. It is a no call.
5520 days A64 Acting Defender established the legal guarding position when a very small contact occurs. Contact is not relation with the reaction. Taking into consideration the difference between the extent of the contact and the movement of the offensive player no foul shall be called, yet the offensive player should get a warning because with this act he incites the spectators.

5525 days A57 Screening The offensive player sets a screen. The defensive player tries to flop as if he fell because of an illegal screen and meanwhile he pulls his opponent. Perfect call.
5525 days C12 Co-operation 3PO When even two officials call they should have an eye contact to decide which ones goes to communicate the foul. It should usually be the one that was closer to the situation.

5525 days A58 Charge-Block Defensive player establishes a position in front of his opponent on time. Although he turns a little inside his cylinder in order to prevent injury, but it is still legal. OFFENSIVE foul.
5526 days D3 Correctable errors The referee chooses the wrong player to make the free-shots, so the team could not be punished. The first free-shot should be cancelled and the right player has to make the free shots. If the team should have made a mistake, by making the shots with the wrong player, then the free-throws should have been cancelled, and the ball should be given to other team for a throw-in from the side line.
5526 days D4 Special situations The defender makes a normal foul against the player with the ball, who after that punches him. The right decision is free-throws against the white player, and disqualifying the blue player. In other words: Firstly the new player who comes on the blue players place who was disqualified has the free shots, after that the player that was hit has free shots and the white team gets the ball to make a throw-in from the side line.
5526 days D5 Correctable errors The teams start the second half on the wrong side. 17sec pass, and there are two calls with 2 shots. After a long consultation the referees make a decision like the foul will be cancelled, and the second half of the game will started again, now on the correct side. It's not the good decision. The mistake can not be corrected. Everything that happened is valid until this moment, and then the team will be eligible for the next changing throw-in.
5526 days D1 Administratif The defender pushes the offensive player, who is giving a correct screen, and the lead calls the foul. But the player that has been pushed acts theatrically , for what the other referee -correctly- warns him.
5530 days B34 Travel-Dribble It is questionable if the right foot of the player is on the floor when he catches the ball. Then he is pivoting and moves his pivot foot a little bit. However if we put the criteria so low when he does not have any advantage, we cannot keep it up in the whole game. No call shall be applied.
5532 days B31 Backcourt The offensive player takes a step in his front court and then dribbles the ball on the center line, in his back court. It is legal by the rules.
5532 days B32 Travel-Dribble While the player is dribbling, he palms the ball and it comes to rest in his hand then he shoots the ball to the backboard and he scores by touching the ball again. Throwing the ball to the backboard is considered as a dribble, so he commits a double dribble violation.
5532 days B33 Backcourt It is not a back court violation. The team loses the control of the ball by attempting for a field goal. Touching the ball in rebounding is not considered as a control of the ball. No violation.
5532 days C11 Game control Defensive player falls down to fool referee, so it is right to warn him for flopping at the very next game pause. This warn should be communicated towards the coach as well, so that it would be valid for all the team members.
5533 days B28 Jumpball (situation) We are not focused enough in the opening jump ball. We must concentrate in the beginning of the game as well. In this situation, an obvious violation occurs, when the jumper catches the ball with his two hands.
5533 days B29 Travel-Dribble The offensive player moves his pivot foot 1-2 cm, but he does not have any advantage and his defender is quite far from him. No call.
5533 days A53 Charge-Block The defensive player moves towards his opponent, DEFENSIVE FOUL.

This contact shall be called preferably by center or trail, because they can see the space between the players.
5534 days A54 Unsportsmanlike Offensive player can see that his defender stands in front of him, when he excessively swings his elbow and contacts him in the face. This act is flagrant, such players must be disqualified.
5535 days B27 Goaltending-Interference The ball has touched the basket already when the defensive player hits it away. GOALTENDING. Primarily it should have been called by the trail official, secondarily by the center official.
5536 days B15 Travel-Dribble The shooter's right foot is on the floor when he catches the ball with both hands then he jumps off. It would be legal if he landed on the floor with both feet. However he puts down his right foot and later his left foot. Travelling violation.
5536 days B23 Backcourt White team possesses the ball. The defensive player hits the ball but right after an offensive player touches it on their offensive court, and then he touches the ball again on his defensive court. Backcourt violation.

5536 days B25 Travel-Dribble The player's right foot is on the floor when he catches the ball and then he takes two steps. Travelling.

5538 days A49 Charge-Block As it can be seen from the ceiling cam the defender moves laterally and towards the offensive player when contact is made. Defensive foul, two penalty shots.
5538 days A50 Double foul Contacts like this have to be called in order to keep game in the right track. Double foul.
5540 days A48 Use of hands Officials do not call a foul correctly until 4 blue attempts to steal the ball he pushes yellow 8. It is a foul. In penalty situation yellow has got 2 shots.
5541 days B20 Backcourt It is not a backcourt violation by the current rules. The ball goes into the frontcourt when both feet of the dribbler and the ball are in contact with the frontcourt.
5541 days C10 Responsibility-Competence 3PO Travelling occurs in lead's authority, but his primary responsibility is to check if block is legal or not., not the travelling violation. Trail is way too far to call anything, it should be the centre that calls.
5541 days B21 Goaltending-Interference The defender touches the ball in its upward flight before the ball touches the backboard. Legal play. If the ball touched the backboard before a player tapped the ball, it would be a goaltending violation.
5545 days B19 Backcourt It is legal by the current rules. The ball comes to the frontcourt if both feet of the dribbler and the ball are in contact with the frontcourt. Although the official shall continue counting 8 seconds.
5549 days C8 Responsibility-Competence 2PO Even in a two-person mechanics such situation cannot happen when both officials look at the player with ball. Trail shall call this flagrant, disqualifying foul. Officials need to call these acts or else they will not be able to keep the game under control.
5549 days C9 Co-operation 2PO Lead applies no call correctly from a good position, however, he should not use his hands to indicate it. We officials must get rid of this arm movement. The other official calls it wrongly from a great distance, however, he cannot see the space between players, providing reasons to quarrel for both teams.
5551 days B10 Travel-Dribble The offensive player commits travelling violation. His right foot is on the floor when he picks up the ball, this foot becomes the pivot foot. Then he puts down his left foot and then lifts his pivot foot. It is still legal if he passes or shoots the ball before he lands on his right foot but he puts down his pivot foot while holding the ball. Travelling violation.
5551 days A41 Off ball Defender hugs opponent's waist, this is the first foul. Then as a reaction for the act the offensive player catches defender's arm as well. This is a foul against the offensive player. We should always try to call the first foul, with which we may be able to avoid to keep game in the right track. Defensive foul is the best call, but double foul can be called as well.
5551 days A42 Charge-Block Defender establishes the legal guarding position in front of the offensive player, and contact is on torso. Offensive player charges defender. Offensive foul.
5551 days A43 Unsportsmanlike Defender does not intend to get the ball, contact is tough. UNSPORTSMANLIKE foul.
5551 days A44 Screening Difficult situation. Although first it seems that defender runs into screening player, but we have to see that white 8 is the player who pushes defender to him. This contact is too big to have a no call. Good call against white 8.
5551 days A45 Charge-Block Defender establishes the legal guarding position, but after the player with the ball jumps he moves laterally a bit, so contact is not on torso but on the shoulders. Defensive foul should be called.
5551 days A46 Charge-Block Defender established a legal guarding position, he moves backwards and a bit laterally. Contact is on torso. OFFENSIVE foul.
5551 days A47 Verticality Defender runs parallel with the offensive player. Offensive player makes a move towards the defender, so defensive player cannot be punished. No call is the best call.

If a defender touches the ball, basket shall count and plus one free throws shall be awarded.
5553 days A39 Rebound While blocking out the offensive player, defender holds and even catches his opponent's arms when he intends to jump. Personal foul.
5553 days A40 Unsportsmanlike Here referee has got two options: no call or unsportsmanlike foul. Defensive player apparently attends to pull back his opponent, although this act does not affect his movement that much. When intention is clear, then calling unsportsmanlike foul is the best, because no call would be more preferential to the team that committed the foul.
5555 days A28 Use of hands Defender puts his arms around opponent. When he gets the ball he still continuously holds him. Such holdings should be called, because there is a chance for getting roughen. Trail should have called the foul.
5555 days C7 Responsibility-Competence 3PO Although defensive player establishes an initiate legal guarding position, but at the last moment he moves towards his opponent, so defensive foul shall be called. Mechanics: Although situation happens in the authority of lead, but he is able to see only player's back, so it should be centre that calls, they can see the space between the players.
5555 days A29 Unsportsmanlike It is clear that the player with the ball intends to give back the previously got harm with his elbow. It is an UNSPORTSMANLIKE foul. In addition, it is a good example for cooperation, because the other referee immediately goes to the player to make him stop complaining.
5555 days A30 Advantage-Disadvantage White steals the ball and there is nobody between him and the basket. His opponent causes a minor contact. With calling the foul referee puts the offensive team into disadvantage. Here ref should have used the principle of advantage/disadvantage and made no call.
5555 days A31 Post play When establishing a position the offensive player pushes his defender putting him into disadvantage. OFFENSIVE FOUL.
5555 days A32 Unsportsmanlike Defender intends to get the ball from a rather unflattering position. Contact is not tough, so normal personal foul is the best call.
5555 days A33 Unsportsmanlike Refs apply the principle of advantage/disadvantage perfectly at the centre line when calling nothing. Defender made a tough foul on the player making the lay up, and he does not intend to get the ball. It is an UNSPORTSMANLIKE foul.
5555 days A35 Charge-Block White 11 establishes the defensive position on time. Contact is on torso. OFFENSIVE FOUL.
5555 days A34 Verticality Offensive player already jumped to shoot when defender causes a contact with stepping a little bit towards him. DEFENSIVE FOUL.

5558 days A20 Charge-Block The defensive player has established the position. From it he could move laterally and backwards, but he moves towards him. Although the contact is on his torso, still defensive foul should be called.
5558 days A21 Off ball When getting rid of the defensive player the offensive one pushes him putting him in a disadvantage. Calls like this have to be made in order to keep the game in the right track.
5558 days A22 Unsportsmanlike Blue 9 holds and pulls back his opponent. Unsportsmanlike foul shall be called. Although it is reasonable to give him a warning not to flop.
5558 days C5 Co-operation 3PO After the three pointer player intends to tap in the ball, and defensive player hits his hand. It is an act of shooting so two penalties shall be awarded. Here both refs called, and they made the good decision, however, it would have been more appropriate to have the discussion before the communication.
5558 days A23 Acting Defender has established the legal position when there is a minimal contact between the two players. Taking into consideration the difference between the extent of the contact and the movement of the offensive player no foul shall be called, yet the offensive player should get a warning because with this act he incites the spectators.
5558 days A24 Verticality Contact is caused by the offensive player, because he jumps not towards the basket, but his opponent who runs parallel. No call is the best call.
