I think they are both fouls. It seems reasonable that even a UNC fan could admit they may have gotten away with one on the screen.
Should this have been a Flagrant 1, a Flagrant 2, a regular foul, or a play on?

So you think a personal foul on dickinson that was missed and shouldn't have been reviewed and a personal foul on bacot for I guess an illegal screen?
I'm fine....Didn't notice the video----Just the still pic. SHould have read better. My apologies.
I think Hunters elbow is a flagrant 2 if Maneks was last year. I think Maneks should have been a flagrant 1 so Dickinson's was probably closer to a flagrant 2 but a flagrant 1 was definitely fair enough.
I don't think Bacot setting a screen was a flagrant. I am not sure on the rules regarding screens down the lane, so it may very well have been an illegal screen.
I have to agree---somewhat.Especially via the rule: above the shoulders, and not a basketball play. Second part is sort of the hard part. It could be argued it was an attempt at an arm bar,and missed? I dunno. After watching multiple times, I'm not sure why it wasn't reviewed. That has to be something---Foul, F1/F2. Has to be.
Bacot screen: Thats tough. Screening rules are the same, no matter where on the floor. One of the things though is, you have to allow time/distance for a defender who is not looking. Sort of like a blind sided block in football, so to speak. You just cannot light someone up. BUT.....UNC could say Bacot was simply turning around to get position---and that could be a legit argument. BUT....it seems as if he was looking right atUM dude, and decided to set a shitty screen. I have watched that play over and over, and man that's a rough sell/call either way. If anything, I'm pissed at Dicjinson for not calling out a scrren. His teammate didn't see it coming.
Yeah, kind of felt the same on both plays. I thought Hunter was trying an arm bar and missed. However, that hasn't seemed to matter according to the rule. High elbow to the face seems to be automatic. Regardless, I didn't think it was dirty.
And yeah, Bacot turned and to me seemed to establish that space and Bufkin just ran into him, but I've certainly seen handoffs called a foul in similar situations. I definitely thought he was trying to screen him there.
