Jesus Christ these refs are awful!!

Yes, actually they got that right because the hand is considered part of the ball.
In basketball, the hand is considered part of the ball when it's in contact with the ball, meaning that contact with that part of the hand by a defender is not illegal.

But yes, they missed many other calls.
I don’t think this is true, but if it is i would love to see the rule that says your hand is part of the ball while you are shooting.
 
It's not true lol. You literally can't hit someone's hand like that whether they are dunking or shooting a 3. It's a foul (well not when you play for Kentucky I guess)
I know it’s not, i was trying to be nice. I am somewhat sympathetic to situations where someone goes through the players hand to hit/block the ball that is contacting their hand, but that is not what happened on the Williams play.

I asked chat, GPT

Yes, in basketball, if you hit a player's hand while they are holding or shooting the ball, it is typically considered a foul. This is known as "hitting the shooting hand." Even though the ball is involved, making contact with the player's hand while they are in the act of shooting is generally viewed as impeding their shot, and the referee will likely call a foul.

If the foul occurs during a shooting motion, the player will usually be awarded free throws, depending on the nature of the shot (whether it was a two-point or three-point attempt). However, if the shot attempt is not part of the shooting motion (like in some other situations), the referee might call a different type of foul.

Chatgpt should have added at the end.

"Unless you play for Kentucky".

Jimmy doubling down, what a tool.

What we think and what the rules are is a different thing. The hand is part of ball is the language used so everyone can understand it.

If you want the official language , you have to understand what legal and illegal contact.

Legal Contact:
  • If a defender is making a play on the ball and their contact is with the offensive player's hand that is in contact with the ball, it is a legal play and not a foul.

And you can say that all day and all night, but if it’s true the refs don’t apply the same rule to 3 point shots.

So only hitting their hand and ripping it off the ball like what happened would be a foul got it. Thank you
 
And you can say that all day and all night, but if it’s true the refs don’t apply the same rule to 3 point shots.
It depends if you get arm , wrist or fingers after the ball left the hand, or if you don’t allow him to land that is illegal contact and foul and 3 shots.

If you get him after he lands and let’s say push him, that’s a non shooting foul. So there are different aspects that are considered. But just like any other human activity, interpreting the rule can be situational and subjective and refs do mistakes.
There is no ref that can say had a perfect game. If they call it both ways the same than we should be okay .
 
In the play we are talking about he hits Williams hand and pulls it off of the ball. Per your own description the second Williams right hand is no longer on the ball it becomes a foul
Lol I like you trying to argue this. When the contact first happen the hand was on the ball. No foul. They missed plenty in the game that’s not one of them if we like or not,
Regardless, I get it we are all upset cause of injuries and result but we didn’t lose this game because of ref., though they had plenty of mistakes on calls.
 
lol obviously you’re kidding. It is funny when our fan base blames the refs every game. Like everyone is out to get Kentucky lol
It’s every single game. Even after a win. I’ve always bragged that we have the best fanbase but I didn’t realize we also have the softest

Only the part of the hand that is on the ball. They clearly got Amari on the lower part of his hand and onto his wrist which is a foul.

According to the NCAA Men’s Basketball Rules Book, if a defender hits or makes illegal contact with the offensive player’s arm holding the ball, it is considered a foul under Rule 10 - Fouls and Penalties. Specifically:

IAW Rule 10, Section 6, Article 1 defines a personal foul as any illegal physical contact with the ball handler, including hitting the arm while holding the ball.

The rule states that a personal foul occurs when a defender makes illegal contact with the arms, hands, or body of the offensive player in a way that affects their ability to control the ball, shoot, or pass.
