A1 drives the baseline, B1 prevents him from driving to the basket, B2 seeing this decides to help and is moving down the lane towards the baseline. A1 jumps sideways towards the paint so he can get a shot at the basket. A1 contacts B2 in the chest and sends him to the floor. Block? P.C. I was watching in the stands, this happened twice in the game and the official called a Block on the play. Did he get it right? Thanks!

If the defender is moving and the shooter is airborne, it's a block.

It was close, B2 had one foot planted but the other was moving to get to the spot. But you are right defender was moving. Its not to often you see a defender stationary, with his feet apart to take a charge.

The key is whether B2 attained LGP before A1 left the ground. Yes=charge, No=block.
That's the difference between the way officials watch the play (watch the defense), and the way fans/coaches/players watch the play (watch the ball).
