I try to give a ruling based on my first viewing of these videos and then replay them to see if I would stick with my original call or not. The first time I played it I had a travel on green at the beginning. On the contact at the other end I would have called a block. On both plays the camera angle was poor, so difficult to tell for sure. Those would have been my "real time" calls. After replaying I think it probably was a travel, but I would ultimately be guessing. And on that block/charge call, I can't tell on that one for sure either. That angle simply doesn't provide for enough info to properly judge the play. It does look like the defender made it in the nick of time, but the contact also seems a lot less then what the bodies on the floor may indicate. But then again, the defender could have been moving in towards the ball handler as well.
I guess if I had a second chance to judge it I would go with a no-call because the contact was lighter than I thought and I simply can’t tell for sure from that angle.
