Offensive Foul on Quickley's 3 Point Attempt
- Thread starter KYJamm

There were only two possible calls on that play. Could’ve been a walk on Quickley even though I don’t think he did or a defensive foul. As others have said in this thread, I don’t think in all my years of watching basketball I’ve seen a player called for a foul while taking a jump shot. Plenty of other bad calls in this game as usual but that one was a John Higgins level of ineptness.
So is he supposed to shoot the ball from waist level? Did you even see the play? The defense had their hand up then brought them down as he shot.
I still can’t believe it was called an offensive foul. I feel like SportsCenter should lead with it tomorrow and discuss how horrible of a call it was. Like, HOF awful.
Did anyone else notice when we drove across the lane late in the first, and the U6 player dropped like he had been shot? Meanwhile our player had changed direction and was heading the other way. But Mack doesn't teach flopping.
I seen that shit, I was like wow he planned that out and it went badly for him.
It was absolutely garbage. I thought they called a great game up till that point then it went down hill
Except that he didn't jump into Cunningham. He jumped forward towards the basket. Cunningham was to his side.
No contact? You mean other than IQ's arms being raked?
Everyone's least favorite roofer.
Same game and same baseline so I'm guessing it was also the rooferee.
Not sure there are 2 worse than these. Unless you consider this one that they supposedly said Booker went out and never reestablished himself inbounds before catching the ball.
There are some other really bad ones out there that aren't in Kentucky games that usually involve Duke or UNC.

Yes! I noticed it live. The closest Cat was over a foot away from him and he clearly flopped. It was pathetic.Did anyone else notice when we drove across the lane late in the first, and the U6 player dropped like he had been shot?

As for the foul on IQ, worst call I’ve ever seen. While I don’t think the offensive player should get a foul call on those lean ins, there’s still no way you can call it a foul on the shooter. Hell the UL guy even raked his arm across Quickley’s.
I believe by rule, it is an offensive foul. It is just never called on anybody not named Kentucky.
Doubt it's ever been called that way in the history of the sport. That was an all timer
Yep could tell the shift was on to make sure it didn't get out of hand. Were about 3 or 4 calls in a row that were awful.
But that one took the cake

The Napier apparently getting shot by someone was in the 2011 final four. The Poythress spin that resulted in him being charged for assault was in the 2014 national championship game.
Both calls were at pivotal times. Poythress’ basket should have been a no call/and one that would have tied it up or gave UK it’s first lead. Instead it’s waived off and Napier hits a 3.
That call yesterday was HORRIBLE, but I’d take one of those a game during the regular season over some of the horrible screw job calls we’ve gotten in tourney games that potentially cost us titles.
Some "fans": Just have to play through it, fouls don't change the game at all.
Probably a 4-pt swing because of that foul.
4 points matters. Bad officiating matters.

Totally Agree
But thing is: Q failed to make contact because the defender dodged him.
The only think I can come up with is the officials have been told to curb the shooter jumping into the defensive player to get a foul called. It happens too much.
However, this was a weak instance to call that because he didn't jump into the players body.

Don't own a rule book, but Leach said after the foul that a while ago it was an emphasis in preseason to call that foul.
I agree - its really bad anymore - that is the one thing they do not give NBA players
