Here is my question.......
Let's say there is a fast break. Let's say a defender is set up to take a charge for a long while. The guy is going to steam roll him. Instead of staying on the ground he jumps straight up. He still gets plowed into. Can this be a charge or just a no call?
I agree these officials should have known to no call this contact.

Yes, it can be. I've seen it on instruction/interpretation videos and I've also called it...much to the chagrin of the offensive team's HC. Players don't have to be on the ground to be displaced illegally.
