IOW, he could have just stopped and shot a jump shot. In the other video, the defensive player was not there and at the last second, ran underneath the shooter to try and draw the charge. This one is clear and easier to call because of distance. Advantage defense.

Old School:
Repeat after me:
1) There is no such thing as an offensive foul in NFHS and NCAA rules.
2) Time and distance does not apply to a defender obtaining/establishing a legal guarding position against an offensive player in control of the ball and the offensive player is not airborne at the time the defender obtains/establishes his legal guarding position.
In fact I want you to write it 500 times and have it on my desk by tomorrow morning.

P.S. Everybody read OS's last paragraph, now he is changing his decision on why he would have called a block in the first thread.
