What are you talking about? This is exactly the type of play the RA is about. The secondary defender is trying to take a charge. He is not attempting to block the shot. This is either an RA block or a no call. And good luck trying to explain why you went with a no call if that is the path you chose. Defender cannot establish legal guarding position within the RA, therefore, the unless you believe the contact is incidental, which it isn't, then you have to call a block foul. If you really think the RA doesn't apply in the situation in this video, you need to get back in the rule book, talk to some officials with more NCAA-M experience than you have, and watch some of the archived videos on the NCAA-M arbiter site.
