I see the defender reach in with his right hand to deflect the ball from the dribbler (6:16 mark to be exact). Happens pretty much right at the 3-point arc(s).
How do you call a charge in this play, when the defender is attempting to steal the ball and not necessarily just moving with the dribbler to maintain LGP.
When he reaches towards the ball, his whole body moves towards the player, and that includes the defender's face. You see the defender reach for his mouth after the contact? He took a decent pop. If he's not leaning in towards the dribbler, I don't see the same amount of contact occuring on that play....JMO
