Charge Or Block

Either way, he is way too far from that play to be credible. It wasn't like those players were gazelles. I would have expected him to be well into the frontcourt before contact with the pace those players were going, not just as he blows the whistle from over 30 feet away.

I think there's no way to say if he's credible or not. He probably has a way better view than we do.

I can't even think of a reason to call a block on this play, ever, from this angle. Offense got by just fine and the defense magically falls over.

It's very likely that this is either a flop or the trail saw the offensive player do something with her right arm that we can't see. I'll give the calling official the benefit of the doubt since he probably has a better angle than we do.
