Charge Or Block

I can see a no call here but in a game with this low skill level that amount of contact can be disadvantageous and it appears to be an obvious block in the context of the thread title.

We can all agree that the T's positioning and mechanics leave a lot to be desired but I disagree with those that say this isnt his primary. He should be much closer to the play but its the entire play is in his primary and its the T's play all the way.

And again, I'm guessing/hoping that there is some contact with the ball-handler's off arm. Otherwise, it is not just a missed call. Its a mind- boggling, horrific call that I would not expect from even the least experienced and/or worst sub-varsity officials I see.

I'm going with the likelihood that there was some contact we couldnt see from the camera angle over the likelihood that this was one of the worst calls I've ever seen.

It is only his primary if he is in the right position to have assumed coverage of his that area. Until he is in the frontcourt, that is area largely the responsibility of the L or C (whoever is in the frontcourt).

This doesn't have anything to do with a crew-saving call, whatever that is. The calling official likely saw something that needed a whistle. Unless an official is known for being awful, I'm going to assume there was a good reason for the whistle.

I go with block. His credibility is not that high just because of the black band on his wrist

Looked like maybe a carry first, but hard to tell. I'm not sure how the official got a placer control foul unless he saw something from his angle that we can't from the video (like a right hand/forarm pushing off). It should be a block from the angle we have (although from the angle we have in the video, I probably pass and let my partner(s) take it).

I can't believe we've discussed this play so much when it's coming from a poster who I'm pretty sure just wants us to confirm that officials miss calls against his daughter.
