Purdue-Ohio State block/charge (C's whistle too quick?)

[SC Official]

3:28 second half. It was called a block and there was a double whistle. I don't believe it was an RA play, and as such I'm not sure what the defender did wrong.

[Kansas Ref]

I do not know either what defender did wrong? The announcers said something to effect of ''the defender [B1} did not establish [LGP] prior to A1 leaving the floor for the shot". Yet that seemed at best faulty reasoning---if not altogether teleological.

[JRutledge]

Here is the play.



This needs to be called. I see no reason the C would not make a call on this and IMO this is more his play. So no, I do not feel he is too quick. But they got together. I just feel it was wrong. I do not see what the defender did wrong. He was there before the player left the floor.

Peace

They were probably looking at that left leg dragging over after the initial set.

And still sliding over after the shooter left the floor....along with the torso shifting with it. If he hadn't still been moving sideways after the shooter left the floor, the contact may have not occurred or, more likely, not been as substantial. Thus, it was/is a block.

Yup, that's what I have.

In the FIBA mechanics, lead takes this play coming to him.

From my view as lead there is only a primary defender. white had no defender guarding him as beat everybody else. B31 stepped up outside RA in legal position and established before shooter was air borne. He took on small step with his right leg sideways as shooter went air borne. Which in my understanding of FIBA rules he is allowed to move and maintain LGP.

I would in FIBA have on offensive foul called from lead.

It is a close play- 2 whistles are OK, coming together and getting what the believe is the right call - too bad they got the wrong call!
