did not see the play, but

How I am reading this is you had a primary defender, and Shaq drove toward a secondary defender who was in his line of movement and stationed outside the arc. In this and other similar (arc and non-arc) situations, if the defender is moving you will have a block, if the defender is stationary you should have a charge. And you won't normally see a clear out action.

If you are referring to switching defenders as one defender gets beaten, I don't know how the NBA looks at it but I consider the new guy to be the new primary defender if he picks up ball and is moving with the ball handler. The original defender is ancient history. So that's where I was coming from.
