It is my opinion that the defender was late to the spot and I'd agree with a block. However, as with most YouTube videos, the quality is pathetic and no easy way to go slow motion so I don't hold that opinion strongly and wouldn't argue with anyone who called nothing....defender did appear to do a little embellishment on whatever contact there was. I do not thing it was a charge, however.

I'm with Nevada on this one. I thought the defender was there in time, but contact was minimal if anything due partly to the defender's acting performance. There may have been a PC if the defender hadn't given up his position; but it's hard to tell with the angle.

So we have 2 votes for charge, 3 votes for block, and 2 votes for no-call. I think we have found a specimen of the very elusive 50-50-50 play!

Traveling on green post player for sure.

Blocking foul on other end and it is not even close.

Good block -- not goaltending.

Why, Brad? Please be specific. What did the defender do that was so clearly illegal in your view?

Maybe he's going with the block because of the flop?

Yup, yup, and yup. Sure looked like (can't see the ball, but based on his actions) the green player had clean possession of the ball when he decided to audition for "So You Think You Can Dance." Obviously if not, no travel.
