Upon repeated viewings, I have the defender in position before the offensive player goes airborne (both feet leave the floor), so the correct call is a charging foul.
Based upon the mechanics for NCAAW this would be the Lead's primary call. Unfortunately, the Lead made the wrong decision. I feel that this is a failure of the system. The is no way that the Lead can look through the body of the defender to see when the offensive play goes airborne. On the other hand, the C has a wonderful open-look at this action. Not surprisingly, the C signaled a charge. The NCAAW need to rethink the mechanic for this type of action.

This is the leads primary call in NCAAM too. Contact was with a secondary defender on a play going to the basket, and in the lane. The only difference between men and women is we would have reported both fouls, and gone to the arrow to determine whose ball.

Small nit, you go to POI, which may be the arrow. (In this case it would be)

Yes, I know what the rule is. I was speaking specifically about the play in the video. Perhaps I didn't make that clear.

This is clearly a block to me. Moving over while the shooter was airborne. Easy call if you ask me.

Peace

Sincere question.
I'm not convinced the defense was but if the defense was already in the path when the offensive player went air born then the extra sideways movement is irrelevant correct?

It depends on whether that "extra sideways movement" created contact that would not have existed without it. (said without watching the play) In most cases, any movement more than just a little bit will be deemed to have done so (and, thus, create a defensive foul)
