Not quite. If the player was running full speed, the catch of the ball can turn what was not LGP into LGP. If the defender obtained the position just as the full speed opponent leaped, the defender hasn't given enough time and distance (as is required for a player without the ball). If the player doesn't catch the ball before the contact, it is a block. However, if the opponent catches the ball, the requirement for time/distance is eliminated, and the postion the defender took is LGP....it is a charge.
