Video review question on block charge

But in response to what I am trying to accomplish, the answer is what Texas Aggies says: Way too many charges are called blocks. What in the world could the defense have done better on this play. He sprinted to get between the dribbler and the goal, established LGP, maintained his position, and was run-over (thru the torso) by the offensive player. How is that not a charge?

We've already told you: the defender's right leg is out of view, and it looks to me as if the offensive player has redirected to the defender's right.
Honestly, after viewing it again, I'll say I would no-call this play from the angle we have. The defender appears to me to be falling on his own rather than as a result of contact.

You imply with "even from the video angle" that the video angle is a better angle than the official has on the floor. I disagree, as the official has a great view of the defender's positioning and stance.
