Chip Clark Breaks Down Why SGA's Shooting Fouls Were Correctly Called

Chip Clark does a great job here breaking down why both of those SGA shooting fouls were correctly called. The Castle one is straightforward once you see it clearly: SGA goes straight up, no drift, no leg kick, and Castle jumps right into him leg to leg. That's not a landing space violation, it's just contact that prevents a safe landing. Clean call.⁣

The Jay Will one is the more interesting breakdown. That would have been a high five and no call last year. The rule interpretation changed this season around secondary movements by or to airborne shooters. Chip points to the NBA Official's points of education videos on this, which are worth checking out if you want to understand exactly where the line is now.⁣

SGA is just a different animal. The whole defense is built around stopping him and he's still getting by the first guy every time. #shorts
