Block/Charge Final Second Final 4

[pizanno]

While in lead's primary, looks to me he has a closed look at point of contact. Trail likely had best view of shooter slipping by defender and could've come in with secondary cadence, if needed.

Team down by two, I'm thinking to myself "has to be obvious, has to be obvious..." Let play develop. Late is great.

Only watched once, but I'd go no call as well.

Good call based on 1st video.

No call based on 2nd video.

I'd like a no call. The one thing I don't like is a PC foul.

The word "flop" is thrown around way too much...by officials.

Definitely nothing. Looks like this ref just wanted to GTFO.

Not sure how you can have a block here.

Eh, the defender leans into the airborne shooter. Likely not enough for me to put a whistle on it, but if anything, this is a block.

Let's not impugn the motives of an official based on a questionable call.

LOL at the kid taking a shot at the ref in post game interview. How about you pull up and shoot a bank shot and not force a call?

I would like to think I would no call this.

I see two potential issues on this play. First, before he gets to the secondary defender it appears (from the baseline video), that the primary defender puts his knee into the offensive player as he goes by. Should this have been called a block, before the block/charge/ no call issue ever came up.

As for the call. I would likely have gone no call on this play given that the defender does appear to lean a tiny bit sideways at the moment of contact. I certainly don't see enough to indicate that it was a PC foul. I think a case could also be made that when the offensive player left his feet, the defender was still attaining LGP, but again it is so close, at that point of the game, I would be keeping the whistle silent. I don't see a clear cut foul in that situations of the game. Depending on how the game was going earlier, maybe I have something earlier, but I certainly don't see enough on the final play to make a call there.

Why are you reviving a year-old thread?
