This looks like an easy charge. I am actually shocked by the comments on that Adams tweet. All 50/50 block charges should be blocks? No way. Why would we want to encourage the offense to plow into established defenders? If you are going to call a block on this defender who was in the paint this entire play, who established and maintained LGP because he leaned slightly but NOT call a charge on an offensive player who saw the defender there and created all of the contact vs pulling up and shooting a jump shot, then that is what you are doing.
