I think there is not question that he had LGP. It only takes a moment and he had it longer than just a moment IMO. If the ball handler was airborne I would agree that this is a block, but the ball handler made contact while on the floor. I think this is another case of just penalizing the defense when contact occurs. I would have called this a PC foul all day based on the information I have seen. Maybe from his angle I could have considered something else, but I do not know what that would have been at this point. He did not move forward, he moved sideways. And if there is any doubt, the defense gets the doubt from my point of view.
