Block/charge and line

We discussed it after the game with six officials and the assigner.

Easy no call for me. I'm calling PC here possibly depending what happens, but the defender didn't really ever move after the contact.

How is this a no call? Unless there was a different result from what I imagine happened after one player slammed into another, this doesn't sound like incidental contact.

A1, the dribbler, runs into B1 and falls over losing the ball. B1 never moves because of the contact A1 made. There are plays like this where I have no whistle, not to say I never have a whistle. Slam was probably poor wording on my part.

Got it. Thanks for the clarification.

Now back to the other discussion...
