Baylor forward Johnathan Motley brought us what would have been one of the dunks of the college basketball season on Wednesday night, but he was called for a charge. It looks to me like Motley got robbed.
The victim, Kansas forward Jamari Traylor, was fortunate enough to draw the foul. It may not prevent him from ending up on a poster. Let’s take a look at the moment Motley began the process of the dunk:
As you can see, Traylor was nowhere near being in position when Motley picked up his dribble. He hadn’t even set his feet yet after Motley took his first step:
Traylor should have been called for a blocking foul. While that wasn’t quite as good as the dunk we saw from this Notre Dame player recently, Motley should have been awarded the slam and a free throw.
