Charge Or Block

I'm sure this is a Roman Law thing, but I actually have a bigger problem with the mechanics than the ruling. Here, the fist has to be up first.

Who makes a PC foul without turning toward the team being awarded?

"Play on"

Girls fall down all the time. I can't tell if there was any contact from this angle. If there was, it looks like a block. If there was minimal or no contact, then no call.

Yes, girls fall down all of the time and this looks like one of them. I don't know this official so all I know if I was looking at this game with an official I was mentoring the first thing I would say is that you are too far away to see that call. At best he is at the division line when he makes the call. Allow the C to get that play. Trust her judgement since the play is coming to her. Also for you to call a PC foul on A1, did she go "to and through" B2? My answer here would be no. Incidental contact on this play for me.

He saw it or he didn't. Oh, how many times I've heard this and the person saying it is wrong because the call was right

What on earth is to and through? Sounds like a weird definition of how to call a PC. You have no idea what the calling official had. Maybe a cheap shot with an elbow. Our view on this play is complete garbage and looks like a no-call. Who knows what he saw.
