At 2:05, it was passed across the top and then down to the corner on the T's side by 2:04....very quick ball movement.

I was starting to cross the lane when that player drove the ball back into the key near the upper FT lane space. So I backed out as the play was coming to my side.

At 2:01, he reversed it back to the wing where the player immediately drove into contact at 1:59.

Being across the floor would have been ideal but the way the play shifted around, I'm not sure anyone else would have been there unless they were frantically moving all over the place.

It certainly looks a whole lot more like a charge on the video than it did on the floor from my angle. I'm not entirely convinced, however, that the video angle is right to conclude I was simply wrong (it was and a couple other calls ). It certainly isn't looking through the play any more than I was. I don't think you can tell if the defender was moving forward or not from that video angle...which is why I had judged it a block. I'd love to have a view looking from the endline on the side where the contact occurred....where I would have ideally been.
Where you should've been with a third official, right?

Ideally, Oregon would join the 21st century and give you folks that help. With a third official, someone would've been there.
