White committed two charges before he released the the ball.

And both charge calls are easy calls to make.

How could WHITE commit a charge when they were on defense?

We know he made a mistake on the color. However, I'll answer your question just the same.

Nothing about a "charge" is specific to the offense.

Both the offense and defense can commit a blocking foul and both the offense and defense can commit a charging foul. Only when either type of foul happens to be committed by a player in control of the by a player of the team in control do they become player or team control fouls.

Some people mistakenly use the two as if they're synonymous. Charging, as defined, is running into another player without reference to who has the ball.

ART. 2 . . . Charging is illegal personal contact caused by pushing or moving into an opponent’s torso.
The sub-parts of this article do not necessarily limit charging to only being possible by an offensive player but clarify situations when it is an offensive player.

I liked the call....The official let em play through the 1st one but the 2nd one was enough to go the other way.
