In NFHS, a defender is only required to obtain LGP prior to the ball handler "leaving the floor". I believe NCAA require LGP earlier.

The college rule and NFHS rule are the same. I have a block because the defender was moving forward into A1 and never established LGP.

Agreed, that seems like an easy block call to me.

Easy call... charge all the way! Jk jk, a little officiating humor there, although I do know some officials that would have called it a charge, believe it or not.

I don't do a lot of 3 man, so I'm not as up on 3 man mechanics and I wouldn't want to say whose call it was, but to me it was an easy block call. Defender was moving into the path of the offensive player, never established any sort of legal guarding position.

I have a block as the defender is making contact as he is coming forward. If he had stopped, then a charge, but on this play, it was a block.
