[QUOTE="mstranahan, post: 871435, member: 2802"] Part of the restricted area rule is that if you jump and go completely vertical, it's not a foul. Problem is, as soon as you have contact, your arms naturally start to come down from vertical. (unless you have abs of steel!) Thus, it puts the officials in a miserable no-win call. Did he go vertical and his arms came down because the offensive player initiated contact? Charge / no call. Or did he bring his arms down from vertical to try to block / alter the shot? Defensive foul. I've seen this one called both ways all year and it's infuriating. It's an impossible call for the refs to make and it changes the course of many close games. Would Gonzaga have won if Holmgren doesn't foul out on that call? I doubt it, but it would have been possible. I think he would've fouled out in the next two or three possessions. He's been foul prone all year and had no way to keep up with the Hogs flying around him. IMO, Gonzaga's demise last night was not Holmgren's fifth, it was their guards shooting 8-30. They were atrocious and that left Timme as the only viable scoring option. Arkansas exposed them, the same way Baylor eviscerated them last year. [/QUOTE]
