This is intension foul?

Shotclock was not reset to 14’ for the offensive inbounds

[@fromtheoutside]

I would assume this clip is a few years old. From where the throw-in took place after the free throws it was 2017 or earlier. Before 2018 the throw-in took place from the centre line extended, which would explain why the shot clock was reset to 24 and the throw-in was allowed to go into the backcourt. After 2018 the shot clock would be set to 14 and the throw-in would be from the throw-in line in the frontcourt.

That is an awful call

[@fromtheoutside]

Nothing wrong with this call; 1) she was only trying to stop the progress of the ball handler and 2) she made no attempt to play the ball.

I'd love to hear more reasoning from you. First off, you are incorrect, this is a great call. Textbook play, straight from FIBA. C3: "An unnecessary contact caused by the defensive player in order to stop the progress of the offensive team in transition. This applies until the offensive player begins his act of shooting." This is straight from the rule book, so I suggest you read it sometime:)

This a great call. Easy C1 or C3 unsportsmanlike foul. The refs could choose! Keyboard worriers smh. I can tell that @Rory H is either not a reff or a very bad one.
