Block, Charge or No call

He goes up for the shot and lands on a turtled defender. Balances (sitting) for a few seconds then falls off.

The defender wasn't trying to take a charge - he was in for the rebounding/boxing out, saw the player looming above him, turtled, and in a sense caught him.

Probably more of a - You had to be there to see the play - But just thought I'd see what everybody thinks.

"You have to be there" sounds like the best call!

Sounds to me as though it's almost certainly not a block. From the description, I'd lean towards a no-call, as it doesn't sound as though an advantage was gained by the contact.

If the defender hadn't turtled (who knew "turtle" was a verb), then I'd probably lean towards a charge, as the defender would likely be displaced by the driver.
