He barely got to the spot in the first place. He wasn't going to be able to actually contest the shot.
He was right next to the rim then he jumped outside the cylinder to try to get the charge. He was already next to the rim to protect it lol. He took himself out of position to take the charge
So you’d much rather one of your best bigs to try to take a charge against a 6’3 guard rather than having him go straight up with his hands up to contest? My theory is that charges are 50/50 calls don’t leave it to college refs to “make the right call”. But it was a split second decision though but I would have like to see him have his hands straight up underneath the basket rather than trying to draw a charge in OT with four fouls. Just my opinionSo go the riskier route of jumping straight up (easier said than done) instead of simply sliding your feet and maintaining your position. Got it
And it's crunch time in an elimination game w/ the Final 4 on the line. I'm completely fine with him taking that chance of a 5th foul and not giving Newman an easy layup.
but they’re coming. He won’t take all 5 even though he said he’d like to
They were aight.
