It's difficult for the Trail, calling official, to watch both the primary defender and the secondary defender on this play. And it appears that having to do so may be the reason for the Charge call.
BTW, IMO, block.
This was one of my first thoughts on the play...if this was 3-man, then I'd be saying that the lead was too slow to rotate strong side. Even in two-man I tend to do strong-side mechanic quite a bit and might have rotated in this situation. I appears the lead starts to rotate strong side when the ball is in the corner but decides against it when the ball is skipped to the top of the key.

As for the play, I also have a blocking foul...defender got to the spot after the offensive player was airborne.
