Does anyone know why no foul was called on BYU for that play? I don't remember which player made contact with Cyphers, but I thought for sure there'd be a foul call and I was surprised when there wasn't.

Carlino was the closest to him but never touched him from what I could tell. Cyphers was just going too fast to the rim. Just an unfortunate play.

Carlino? Hard contact, but legal?

Uh, because Carlino didn't touch him at all... :skeptic: He fell into Carlino, after the dunk.

When dunking, it is a bad idea to let go of the rim when your hands are on an even plain with your feet. He was out of control and bounced off of Carlino on the way down.

If you wanted a foul, you'd better give it to "gravity" on that one.

Just because someone gets hurt doesn't mean that a foul happnened ;)

Who looks like his fingers slipped off the rim.

I didn't want a foul, but I only saw it live (no replay) and it looked like there was a hard collision (hitting a fast-moving Carlino appeared to be what flipped him on his head in the air).

Looked that way at first but Carlino did an excellent job of going for the ball. No contact by Carlino.

Carlino probably cushioned his fall a little so he didn't break his neck.

It was either all ball or seen that way. Contact was minimal if any - maybe hand and ball.

It was his attemp to grab the rim from too far under the rim at too fast a speed that flipped him up and over.

yeah, there was no contact on the way to the rim. Nothing that should be called a foul anyway. Just an unfortunate event. Didn't look good when it first happened though.

Is there any report on how he is doing?

someone reported 6-12 stitches and walked out of the MC under his own power. Should be fine except for a headache.

That's good to hear.

Wasn't being indignant towards you, Sammich, if it read that way.

I'll second that, it's good to hear.

I watched the replay multiple times, and it looked like there was no contact at all until he glanced against Carlino on the way down. I agree that if he hadn't hit Carlino, he probably would have ended up completely head-first. It looked like he intended to hang on the rim but his hand slipped.
