Legal Guarding position or Blocking Foul? (Video)

From the first angle, I thought that the defender got there. However, from the endline view, no. He was still moving in to the path after the shooter jumped.

PC or no call. He gets his feet to a spot on floor before the shooter gets off the ground. He can turn so that's not on him.

If you want to argue he got the spot but wasn't squared up to the shooter before contact so he never established LGP then you can pass on the charge and go no call if that's your bag.

I still don't feel like shooter is responsible for the contact. He gave him time and space to catch and land, now the player with the ball has no expectation of time and space and has to expect to be guarded must be able to stop. Not punishing d for getting to spot before the offense and the offense going through them anyway.

Close. In slow motion the defender is there before shooter goes airborne. In real time speed the defender appears to get there a split second too late.

My concern is that the Lead guessed b/c when he rotated his eyes were directed towards the on-ball match up in front of his partner instead of towards the paint where he had 2 potential secondary defenders moving into his primary.
