When a player is going hard to the basket like this it doesn't take much of a bump to get them off balance. I'm not adament that it should be a block or a charge, but I do think it needs to be one or the other.
After pausing the play and looking at the lead officials position when the "crash" occured he has the same angle as we do (his lack of hustle duelly noted).
At each camp I went to this summer it was drilled in our heads that if you have players on the floor in a situation like this (block/charge calls especially) you better have a whistle.
