Why One Hold Gets Called and the Other Doesn't — Chip Clark Breaks It Down

This is one of the cleanest teaching moments I've seen from a referee educator in a long time.⁣

Chip Clark breaks down why the Hartenstein hold on Chet in the background was completely incidental — zero possession consequence, zero effect on the play — while the Wemby contact had to be penalized because it directly prevented him from securing the rebound.⁣

That distinction right there is everything. It's not about whether contact happened. It's about whether that contact changed the outcome. Once you understand that, a lot of calls that seem inconsistent start making a lot more sense. #shorts
