First of all it is a block. Player doesn't beat the alighted offensive player to the spot. This is where i don't like "takes it in the torso" philosophy. It is a decent, middle of the road philosophy if you ask me. There are way too many instances where a guy takes it in the torso and it should NOT be a charge.
Secondly, is most everybody saying that it would be a charge had he just tried to dribble past the defender instead of jump stop past him?
