Thanks for the link, and congrats to Errick. It's always nice when a smaller school player gets some national recognition…and all he had to do was posterize some poor kid to get it.

Actually, Errick has now broken the all-time scoring record at Goshen College. The link in the story above is from a November article when he reached 2,000 points. But he broke the old all-time scoring record just before Christmas. Here's a link to the Dec 15 article from our conference website: http://www.mid-centralconf.org/article/717.php

[...] According to MidwestSportsFans.com, the highlights of McCollum’s dunk have been playing in heavy rotation around the ESPN campus, and rightfully so. It’s just that nasty. [...]

The defender at no point had his feet set, he was still sliding over as the other kid was leaving the ground. You can't stand under the basket, slide under people and expect to earn charges. Ridiculous.

The strutting and so on have nothing to do with the fact that this is no way, shape or form could ever be construed a charge.

The defender was almost directly under the basket. That close to the hoop, in the lane, you are not going to get a charge called unless you were standing there forever and the player made contact with his body, instead of with his legs as he dunks over you.

It's not a charge when your feet hit the defender on the chin while dunking. He got posterized, get over it.

Serious question: where's the website with the videos of the best charges taken?

Seriously the defender got his feet set and didn't move until after the dunk had ended, it should have been a charge, why does everyone assume that the defender needs to brace himself and stay totally motionless all the way to the floor. The bottomline is the defender had his feet set when the contact began so it's charging according to the rules, why refs have to pervert the rules is beyond me. There's nothing that says the defender has to hit the floor to get a charge call, all it says is that the defender must have their feet set, which this kid clearly did. Something tells me if it had been a layup instead of a dunk they would have called the charge, and that's just wrong.

Charge!!!! Why does everyone have to pose and strut after a dunk. How about a high-five or even…happiness! No, now it's a mean look and a strut.

There are definitely some good players at the lower levels. As you said, guys missing one or two things. Maybe academics, height/speed, etc. But the skill level is very good and every now and then you get a gem like this kid, who may have just been a late bloomer.

That school is in the same conference as the school that I went to. There are some very good athletes and basketball players in that conference. A lot of them seem to be DI players that are just missing one thing. I wish I had a video of a dunk that James Gardner (Arizona point guard Jason Gardner's older brother)..had against Franklin one year. It was better than that even
