I said live it looked to be a charge. On replay, I have a block. The defender didn't establish LGP prior to the beginning of the shooter's motion. ICC - I agree.

According to NCAAW mechanics, this play was then the C's all the way. In the clip, the L has his eyes on the play all the way to the end. If the C is following the ball into the paint, he had to pick up the defender late. I would assume that this play would be discussed in the postgame.

As Bob said, this play was the L's. If he had something in front of him which prevented him from seeing it then the C and/or the T would jump in after waiting a beat. I had one like this a few weeks ago. Big crash, no whistle and my first thought - I was the T - was, "Holy %*$&! That girl got hammered!" Then made the call. L thanked me afterwards because she got blocked out.

In an ideal world no one in the OP would have given a preliminary signal. They didn't seem to discuss it much on the court so my guess is the L wasn't 150% sure so he gave it up - possibly they had similar plays that were called blocks earlier and he went with that flow, though he was correct here. I'm thinking they would have discussed it in the locker room and an observer may have brought it up as well.
