I want to go back to Donovan's waived off three from the first Pelicans game

1. This was bang bang. Ref called the foul within a second

2. Ref didn't have the angle? No way the ref on the baseline sees this. Your argument is thin




The continuation signal is made whenever the foul takes place while the shooter is in a shooting motion, whether it is on ball or off ball.

Ref is clearly looking right at Gobert being fouled.

There is no evidence that he was calling a foul against Mitchell when nobody is within 5 feet of him,

To be fair, the correct hand-signal piece is shaky and it is. Most often they use the personally foul call initially then they clarify.

Yes. The arm up is universal for all personal fouls. What follows is just the type of personal foul and this part is highly variable and subjective.
