If you are just watching the defense, you would never know!   
 
Just give it a rest.  I have been doing this way too long for these little BS points you keep coming up with.  I'm okay with you calling an offensive foul here.  I'm not okay with you saying just referee the defense.  That's wrong!  Game deciding situation, I'm taking everything into consideration.  One reason, just one small reason that if you used the other side of your brain, you might just realize.  What if the replay clearly showed the offensive player airborn and you got an offensive foul? Do you realize how close you where to having just that happen here!  A split-second!  You would have never saw it if you are focus on the defender.  The tape don't lie either! Game deciding situation, I'm the Lead, I'm watching the play.  I ain't watching nobody feet here.  Waist up!  IMHO....

Old School:
Offensive foul?  I did not know the play that started this thread was from a game being played under NBA/WNBA rules.  I thought the play that started this thread was a high school game played under NFHS rules.  I did not see an offensive foul.  I saw a charging foul committed by a player in control of the ball which made the charging foul a player control foul.
If you read the NFHS, NCAA Men's/Women's, FIBA, and NBA/WNBA rules codes, you will not find a definition for an offensive foul in the NFHS, NCAA Men's/Women's, and FIBA rules codes, but you will find a definition for an offensive foul in the NBA/WNBA rules codes.
Please use correct terminology when discussing a play.  Using the term offensive foul when describing a player control foul for a game played under NFHS rules tells everybody that you do not know the rules of basketball.
