nope, play #4, the one in transition, the lead counts the basket.

OK, I found it...the one I found at 1:34 was play #3, a block/charge, but called by lead as a charge....thanks.....

From that video, you can't tell for certain either way but the movements of the defender suggest that is the case. Given the location of the lead, he had a view 10 times better than the camera angle.

I'd like to hear other opinions.

Uh, no. It doesn't. Contact that creates an advantage for the offensive player/team is a foul, not contact alone. As others have said, a falling defender (sort of faking the foul) is much less likely to be disadvantaged by contact than a defender who is continuing to actually play defense.

Um, maybe because the calling official had a better view than you and in his judgment it was a block? And again, why are still asking for opinions when all you are looking for anyway is somebody to agree with your opinion? Why not just come out and say 'I'm right and everybody who disagrees with me is wrong."? You're never going to listen to or evaluate an opposing view anyway. Your mind is made up. Nothing the matter with that either. Just don't tell me that my opinion is wrong because you have nothing to offer via the rules imo that will confirm a statement like that.
