Offensive player is running towards half court, head turned back
to the baseline to see a pass. Defender takes position perhaps
2-3 steps before offensive player receives pass near midcourt,
but out of the offensive players field of view (he's looking back
for the pass). Collision occurs before offensive player can take
a full step after he catches the ball.
Block or charge?
2) Offense player has the ball in the lane. Shot is blocked and the ball is loose in the lane 4-5 seconds, several players are trying to pick it up, offense picks it up and three seconds is called instantly.
Valid call?
Thanks!

1) Charge. The way you described it, the defender was there in plenty of time.
2) No 3 seconds without team control in the front court. As soon as the shot was taken, a new count can only start when an offensive player secures the rebound. Bad call.
