That's just good basketball.
3 Charge
4. I thought block in real-time as well. And again when I stopped it at 5 seconds. The offensive player is trying the euro step and I see the defender's legs to his right on the dash marks but then he moves them to the side, too late for the charge. Good call by the ref.

Maybe it is because this (jump stop) is an area I have been working on to get better but I have a clear travel. Also, this approach (in red) has always bothered me. A player commits a foul/violation according to the rule but you think it is still makes for good basketball so you let it go. How is one official sticking it to one team "good basketball"? If a player travels...call the travel. Would you count a basket from mid-court to win the game even though it was after time expired? I mean, after all...it was only a second.
