This might depend on what mechanics you use -- does L have the entire lane, or just to the middle of the lane?

I'm fine with the charge call here.

unless the block/charge contact occurs outside the lane on C's side - imho, the Lead should have block/charge calls on drives to the basket....the defender involved in these plays is almost never the one guarding the ball - he/she is coming over from the weak-side...who better to see that than the Lead?

L can see it if the defender comes from the L's side. But, this defender came from the wing on C's side. L would not be looking there (or if he was, then he should have come across).

Our training here is that lead has half of the lane. If he's looking at the other half, he needs to rotate. Note, for technical reasons, I haven't seen the play, I'm just responding to the idea that the lead has the entire lane in three-person.

I have a question: why do those of u who said block, have a block?? This seems to be a clear cut block, the player continues to slide over and towards the off. Player after he has went airborne and correct me if I'm wrong but a player is allwed to establish LGP and move to maintain, but he must be in position to take the contact once the off. Player has went airborne, correct?

Correct, a player may move to maintain LGP but must be in the path before the opponent becomes airborne.

I don't understand your question. You asked why they're saying it's a block and proceed to explain why it's a block? Where is the disconnect?
