What made that non-call look so bad was the manner in which the Toledo player lowered his head and knock Carter over, it was dangerous, he was on the ground nearly getting stepped on at the end.

Although I have agree with OUVan, I'm just glad they didn't whistle a block call. I would guess that if that happen in the first 35 minutes of the game, 85% of time MAC officials would call Charge, 10% they would call block, and 5% they would look at each other and wonder why somebody else didn't call anything. Lets not forget, in the first half Gavin Block got called for blocking violations twice, when it clearly looked like he had his feet set outside the arch.

I would add to this his ability to effectively use either hand. I don't think you can underestimate how important this is. Defenders always try to take away one side, usually the dominant hand side. His ability to shoot with touch with his left makes him extremely difficult to defend.

I actually thought he was left handed, based on the way he was scoring at will with the left hand baby hooks. He must have done a lot of Mikan drills

True about #2 as well.

Hah, those definitely work. My son broke his right arm in late October and was on the shelf for 11 weeks. He still attended practice however and the coach had him do the Mikan drill just with his left hand for half of practice each day (reverse layup from the right side). He's always been pretty good with this left but now he's nearly ambidextrous on the court. He now scores more on driving layups with his left hand than he does any other shot just because the defenders give him his left. He had a Middle School game right after he was cleared to play where the opposing coach yelled out that he was a lefty and to take it away. Two of the kids on the other team are on his AAU team and yelled to the coach "No, he's not." So much of that is because of the Mikan drill. Now compare Carter's touch around the basket to Steve Taylor who missed 2 or 3 bunnies.

Carter clearly worked his tail off rounding his game. If I'm an opposing coach I don't know what you'd do to defend Carter. He's too quick and agile to defend with a big because unlike Steve Taylor and Isaiah Johnson it's not all that important where he catches the ball. If you stick a smaller, quicker defender on him he'll just post him up. If he does develop a reliable outside shot he's going to be impossible to guard without lots of help. The link below is an excellent article about his development with the always welcome Shaun Stonerook reference.

I watched this kid play against my Alma Mater Newark Catholic on a few occasions and was in awe of his play and his Basketball IQ.
When he signed with Ohio I was thrilled as he truly was one that got away from the P5 based on the league in which he played.
It is my opinion that he is by far the best player to ever come out of LCL in the 40 years I've been watching.
