Von Wafer/Vujokic Foul

[HatDaddy]

I'd like honest opinions on it. Take the bias off and let's hear your thoughts on that play with Vujokic. This isn't meant to be a flame starter in any way.

I've seen Reggie Miller do this on many occasions, but not to this extent.

IMO, he travelled before he even made contact, but the contact was intigated by Wafer and was an offensive foul.
thoughts?

I couldn't believe the announcer was talking about it being a possible flagrant. That was ludicrous.

I think it could have been called an offensive foul, but the official that made the call didn't have the best view.

Man, I really hate those BS "drawing contact" fouls. IT wasn't a flagrant. That Flagrant2 that got called on Artest was ever more BS. That might have actually been the most BS foul call ever.

I have a hard time believing that any sane human could believe that was worth even a flagrant 1 on Artest, much less an ejection.

At the very least, that Vujacic foul on Wafer should been called on the floor and not 3 shots. Wafer most definitely did not attempt a shot. I'd hesitate calling it an offensive foul because Vujacic was already airborne and going to run into Wafer anyway, but jumping to the side to make sure more contact occurs is not a shot attempt.

the call could have been on wafer for initiating contact but almost aways goes the way it was called. thus i have absolutely no issue with the way it was called

 

[Statalyzer]

But, again, he did not shoot or try to shoot - so at the very least Vujacic committed an "on the floor" foul and not a shooting foul.

I thought they should through Vujacic out mainly because his name is Sasha and he is a whining punk on the court.

The refs should call leaning into a defender who is already in the air the same way they call a blocking foul when a defender moves under an offensive player who is already in the air driving for a lay up. Unfortunately they don't.
