Here we go.

I am lead on this particular play. A1 passes from the top of the key to teammate coming from the wing. Player A2 goes airborne to catch pass, at approximately the same time B1 comes across and sets up on block facing A2(airborne), hands straight up feet firmly planted and fully facing A2. A2 contacts floor and B2 at the same time and stumbles from the contact of B2.

Had this happen to me this weekend. I'll let you know later what I called.

What's YOUR call.

Ron I assume that player A let the ground before B had reached the final position. If so it is a BLOCK and not even a close call. I know you would be refereeeing the defence as all good officials do and even though B would think she was there forever she may be lucky to only get a common foul and not unsportsmanlike(FIBA).

I'll bite (and hedge a little, too).

If B1 was set before A2 took off - charge. If not - block.

Well I thought that B got to spot after player jumped for the pass and secured it.
I had a block! B coach and many fans didn't like the call very much.

If you defender sets up before the offensive player is airborne, it is a charge. If offensive plyaer takes off then defense slides in, then it is a block.

Ron,
Could you have got by with a no call? Sounded like the little "stumble" had no effect on the play!

Hey Alaska Ref,
If contact caused the stumble, then you would have two choices:
a. Travel on the person with the ball; or
b. Block which caused the travel.

The key is, and I think Ron had it, was player A receiving the pass off the floor prior to player B setting himself.

Stilliman,
She may not have traveled with the "stumble" and in that case would you be unfairly penalizing the defense. I just asked Ron if a "no call" would have worked! I see by his later admission that he did call a "block" but he thought about the play enough to pose it to us.
Happy Holidays everyone!
