Block or Charge?

[Texas Aggie]

I agree with Mark, at least as explained.

OK, then would I be correct in assuming that if contact occurred while the rebounder was in the air we would have a block? And not to be a nit-pick, but what if it is simultaneous? The play was that close that simultaneous could be argued....

tmp, if the foot landing/contact is simultaneous, I've got a block.

If A1 returns to the floor with one foot and then charges, I've got a charge.

If there's any doubt in my mind as to whether the foot land or contact came first, I've got a block. Why? Because B1 has placed himself at a disadvantage be taking this position. He's not playing defense.

Did the defender give him room to come down or did he undercut the rebounder? I couldn't tell from your description.

Would that matter if all the defender was doing is standing still the entire time? Everyone is allowed their place on the floor.

That depends. Was he standing still in LPG or was he standing still after he undercut him? That would make a huge difference.

The defender established his position AFTER the rebounder went into the air to grab the ball.

I agree with you there, but you said "give him a place to land." You never have to give someone a place to land if you have established LGP. Either way this is one of those "you would have to see it" types of plays. We can all talk about what we would call, but seeing it is where we make out money.
