Hubbard makes a 3, and lands on a defenders foot rolling his ankle. So they called a foul, giving a chance for a 4-pt play.
But.,.in the replay he lands 18” to 2ft in front of where he went up from ( he jump from behind the NBA line and landed in front of the college line).
IMO, they gave him room to land. No he didn’t kick his feet out like some punks do, I don’t see how he landed so far in front of the line, it wasn’t a fast break 3, he was actually curling from the right, so if anything you would have expected a little drift to his left, not forward.

what would happen if it wasn't behind the line? like a long 2. What would/should be the call then?

I used to hate punks in pickup who'd jack up a hopeless 3, but swing their leg out and then call "ball"...lol

Refs are so incredibly inconsistent, but very dumb to call a foul for a guy jumping jnto another player. Shooter needs room to land but that doesn't extend 2 feet in front of the launch point.
