[Nevadaref]

Second half 3:00 left

Blocking foul on the primary defender or charge with the secondary defender?

Peace

Charge -- if that defender got there in time

[Camron Rust]

The first defender certainly fouled him then the offensive player charged.

I'd be fine with going with the first foul. Without it, the offensive player may have been able to avoid the charge.

I love the call. I do not see the defender extend his arm or body to the dribbler. The dribbler goes where he wants to go and never changes direction. I would consider the contact before the charge for sure, but hopefully, do nothing else than consider the contact.

Are you sure? Look at the defenders left arm extended into the dribbler for 2-3 steps before the charge. It is certainly there. The only question is whether it was enough. Without it, could the dribbler have veered more towards the lane and either avoided the subsequent contact entirely (not likely) or at least made it so that the defender wouldn't have got to the spot in time (possibly)? I'm giving the benefit of the doubt to the dribbler. The C was doing so too before the L was hot on the call....if he was on the primary and letting the L take the secondary.

I personally would go with the foul on the defense first. I see enough contact to call the foul on the defender. I also give Pearl credit for keeping his composure on this. I've seen him go off on much less than this in the past.

Everything avoided if C calls that first armbar-ish foul.
