The defensive player was still moving when Brooks made contact, trying to get outside the circle, which he did but was moving the whole time. My understanding, if the offensive player isn't out of control and the defensive player is moving the calls goes against the defense.
Keion Dunk

- Start date
Seemed as though Brook’s slowed down a little and then decided he was going to truck that dude. T bagged that little punk!!!!
Sorry. Didn't mean to offend you. I was just playing around and recollecting my days a long, long time ago dunking on the Nerf hoop (and then getting yelled at for banging into the walls).
Not sure if it was that good. If you’re referring to that dunk in Memorial against UNLV, IIRC, in that NIT game. If so, that was an extremely impressive dunk. One of the best in our storied history IMO.

KSR has the play on video and quite frankly it was very close and could have gone either way. I know that doesn't fit with the fan desire here but in normal speed the defensive player appeared to move at the same time Keion started to elevate. Then the defensive player was definitely set outside the circle. So it was pretty much simultanous movement. In the NBA it would have been a no-call as probably the same for many college games. Neither player gained an advantage. But, typical in college ball the home team gets the favored call.
I think actually it is a charge by the letter of law in college basketball if the defender establishes legal guarding position before the player’s feet leave the floor. The step/gather to jump was a 1 year deal that the NCAA refs complained about until it was removed, unfortunately.
