VIDEO REQUEST: Kansas/Indiana Blarge

Bunch of stuff going on here.

It's a rebound off a missed shot, so the RA doesn't apply. Which makes it weird why Lead is pointing in that direction. I suppose he could be pointing at the defender, but I'm pretty sure he was pointing at the RA. And the defender isn't even in the RA.

This is also a primary defender, and in Slot's area so I like the call form Slot. A bunch of people told me this is a block but I think this is a charge all day long.

Interestingly if the Lead did indeed call a RA blocking foul, then they could have gotten together and come out with just a charge. You can always bring information to change an RA call, and if information is brought then both Lead and Slot would have a charge call, and no blarge.

It sucks they can't get together and come out with one call like the NBA or NCAA-W but they did it correctly by their rule set.

If you're going to call a foul here, it's not even close IMO. PC all day long, and C should have the first crack at it. L doesn't need to blow across.

However, the dribbler stopped on contact and the contact was marginal, so I would even be fine with a no-call.

I think the L was pointing to the player on the floor, not the arc. We always say blow and hold from the outside. It's C call but can be hard for L to lay off. If I'm C I blow whistle and as arm goes up I'm looking at L. If he does nothing then I can sell. If he's emphatic it's on him unless I can yell " I got it" before he signals. It's my call at C but it won't be the last time L doesn't lay off.

The replay around :54 shows a pretty good angle as to the question of block or charge. It looks like the defender's got pretty good LGP and the offensive player displaces him, in my opinion.
