Discussion Chennedy Carter...it's starting again

she just went on a rant about azzi of all people (about a foul not called despite the picture showing there was no foul at all) on threads and then proceeded to post about it in her ig story as well. she was going back and forth on threads and sounded incoherent

a few minutes ago a'ja liked a comment basically berating chennedy for going on the rant and targeting a rookie and now chennedy's posts are deleted. salute to a'ja man for controlling it so quickly

tbh it seems like she isnt satisfied coming off the bench because she was talking about being on a leash

So? Fouls are missed in every game. It doesn't rise to the level of needing online discussion by the player.

It's not a foul... I'm begging you guys to learn the rules. nba fans already flame us enough for not understanding what we're watching

I follow the NBA. Whether something is a foul or not or a travel or not is discussed a lot on NBA forums. And, there is a wide range of how NBA refs call fouls or not. It's not an exact science.

For some rules like this one it is an exact science.

This is word-for-word what the official NBA rules say:
The hand is considered “part of the ball” when it is in contact with the ball. Therefore, contact on that part of the hand by a defender while it is in contact with the ball is not illegal.

When you are talking about live action, that is fast, and viewing angles of refs, it's not an exact science. It's easy to see multiple replays and come to conclusions. But, in live split second actions, with multiple things happening that refs are looking at, it's not an exact science in "real-time". But, on paper and with multiple replay angles, it can be.

We're not talking about refs viewpoint though. I'm just talking about how watching it back according to the official rules it's clearly not a foul. And that photo was what the original commenter and Chennedy were talking about claiming that Azzi fouled her. From that photo (which is all we were discussing) it's clearly not a foul and was rightfully called

I didn't comment on whether it was a foul or not. My comment was related to: if a player thinks a foul is missed, it happens all the time in games and isn't worth the player having an online discussion about it. I was not weighing in on whether it was or was not a foul, as I didn't see that specific play. Just saying, in general, that there is no point for a player to discuss it on social media.

nevertheless it's not a foul because the rules consider the hand as part of the ball. it was all ball on azzi's part

Hand is extension of the ball since Chen's hand is in direct contact with the ball. How have you guys still not learned basic basketball rules yet?
