Referee The D

[Hawks Coach]

If you consider the block charge call where the defender is stepping in and the driving player is elevating for the lay-up, you can easily see the sense in this approach. It is easy to see the elevation occur if you are watching the defender who is inside the offensive player. If you are mesmorized by the drive until the player elevates, you will probably not know whether the defender's final move into position for the charge occurred before or after the player elevated. It won't be as apparent to you, and then you can't make the right call.
