I wish I had a cool signature

Gold star, sir! When I first watched it from the standard camera angle, I thought for sure it was a charge. Seeing it from the L's angle (after watching it ten times), I finally convinced myself that it was a block based on that left shoulder injection. Subtle, but not a recoil action, especially at that level. Great call by the L. I think the defender got LGP before both of the shooter's feet left the floor, but then he gave it up by moving that shoulder forward outside of his vertical plane where contact occurred.
As for the C, agree it was a late whistle, but I'm just critiquing that I thought he was a little too quick to abandon the two high post defenders at the beginning of the drive. You could tell from his slide down and his eyes. Illegal screen or not up high, my point is that I don't think he even had an opinion.
