Block or charge at 6:15 mark?

I've got nothing. Offensive player was not put at a disadvantage, and the defender tried to reach in to defect the ball and got his nose in where it shouldn't have been and paid the price.

I must have seen a different play at the 6:15 mark.

I see the defender reach in with his right hand to deflect the ball from the dribbler (6:16 mark to be exact). Happens pretty much right at the 3-point arc(s).

How do you call a charge in this play, when the defender is attempting to steal the ball and not necessarily just moving with the dribbler to maintain LGP.

When he reaches towards the ball, his whole body moves towards the player, and that includes the defender's face. You see the defender reach for his mouth after the contact? He took a decent pop. If he's not leaning in towards the dribbler, I don't see the same amount of contact occuring on that play....JMO

Sure, he reached, but that's not illegal. His body is moving sideways and backwards, so all the reach does is slow that movement down. The defender is perfectly legal when he gets plowed.
If anything, you may have a no-call if you think he embellished the contact.

That's what I have, plus the fact that the dribbler had diverted away from the defender in what was more of a glancing contact than direct.

If someone in authority mandates that a foul has to be called, it's Team A's foul. I believe the correct call was made on the court.
