If you watch one or the other and you end up with a bias call. You watch both of them and the only definitive answer you can come back with is a block or incidental contact. With the game in the balance, I'm watching both players. Not mad at you if you call a CHARGE, I just think you guessed at the CHARGE, but as we all have stated, it was the OP call to make and he made it, kudo's to him. I would rather him come out with a CHARGE then a no-call.
Good discussion.

Call a block, then; live happy and continue to afflict basketball games with your moronic theories. I don't know in the US, but here nobody says to look from the waist up during the last seconds of a game. And I don't believe they do in the US, either.
Please, continue also to write in this forum: you are an endless source of wrong interpretation of the rules. Very good for gathering negative examples to show during association meetings.
Incidental contact? Come on! Well, if you are that kind of official who hides himself during the last seconds of a tight game, then a no-call would be the ideal decision. I prefer officials who have the heart to call what happens on the floor. Perhaps making mistakes, but not hiding themselves.
