Caleb Fuller’s Windmill Inexplicably Waved Off by Referee

By Sam Neter on November 23, 2016

One of the more curious calls of the season was witnessed on Saturday in Ipswich.

Wide open out on the break, Caleb Fuller rose and threw down an uncontested windmill against Danum Eagles, only for the official to wave it off and says it didn’t go in.

“This was possibly the most bizarre call I’ve ever seen,” said Ipswich Head Coach Nick Drane.

“We all make mistakes, but this was a very odd one – thank god for it wasn’t a one point game”.

Ipswich would win 106-62 in the Division 2 contest, as Fuller finished with 19 (not including this one, of course).

And just in case you had any doubt it went in.

Do you like our work?

We have a tiny favour to ask. In 2018 we set out to make Hoopsfix sustainable by building our relationship directly with our readers. Up until now, Hoopsfix has been creating editorials, videos and podcasts to provide sorely missing coverage of the British game and its distinct culture and community.

We have funded Hoopsfix with our freelance work creating basketball media, but sadly that means not only does it fall behind our client’s priorities, but some of those clients are the same organisations we need to report objectively on putting us in a conflicted position.

We want to devote more time to our mission of helping British basketball reach its potential, and produce even more content for the basketball community by making Hoopsfix a sustainable 100% independent business funded directly by our readers through Patreon.

If everyone who enjoys our content chose to support us, our future would be much more secure. For as little as $3 per month, you can support Hoopsfix – and it only takes a minute.

We are tremendously honoured and humbled to have a community of people who value what we do, and we look forward to being at the forefront of the British game as it continues to evolve.
