Whatcha got?

One thing everyone missed is that there was a double whistle. I couldn't hear it but the lead's arm went up at the same time as the center...hard to see, but take a close look. The lack of an immediate preliminary signal was because they were ensuring they didn't have a blarge.

I agree that it should have either been PC or nothing...but it appears they called a defensive foul.

Nice catch. I didn't notice either. I had PC from the first time I watched the video. Lead looks hesitant when moving ball side, which has me questioning if he agreed with the block call. Not sure what the "C" saw to go with block, but the tape seems clear . . . PC or nothing.

No call.

My bad. I didn't mean this play in particular, just block-charges in general. There are a few no brainers every once in a while, but most of the time you could argue either way. This one I have in the PC basket also.

I too would go with PC or nothing.

Interestingly enough, in some games where I choose to go with "nothing" there is an evaluator in the stands who proceeds to inform me......ya gotta go with "something." And of course, they are always right.

C definitely called block here (unless he missed the play twice) because he clearly counts the hoop when he reports the foul. There's no way you could count this hoop if you had PC foul (NCAA rules) because the try was definitely not released before the foul occurred.
