Time & Distance is not a factor in this case because the defensive position is taken before Blue 10 leaves the floor (Watch Blue 10's left foot). Therefore in this case we have 2 defensive players that have their LGP and an offensive player who creates illegal contact and Dislodges both defenders.
I disagree. It appears to me that the bodies of both 6 and 13 are moving into the dribbler after he has left the floor.
I do agree that it appears that 6 may have gotten his feet set in time but I don’t believe 13 did and both defenders’ bodies are well behind and move into the offensive player.
I say block on either one. Maybe more so on 13 as his upper body leans in more aggressively. IMHO.
