Close visualization of the play you're talking about :
And the discussion thread: Kansas v Texas: Close Block/Charge Play
Note: Adams initially said this was a block...then retracted that statement and said it was a charge
Quote:
Dear Officials and Administrators:
There is an error in VB #14.* The play labeled "Block/Charge" that shows the Texas player catching the ball over his shoulder, that I said was a blocking foul, is actually a player control foul.* It is clear that the player in white catches the ball and takes a step prior to the contact.* As such, the player in white is NOT entitled to time and distance.* Thanks to all of you that pointed out the error. (See 4-17-4-a-c* p49).* I will delete the play ASAP so as to avoid further confusion.
Sincerely,
John W. Adams
NCAA National Men's Basketball Officiating Coordinator
