Justise charge?

The only problem is that the rules specifically allow the defender to turn to absorb the shock of the contact, and that is not considered flopping. The defender is standing there and doesn't turn until after the shooter leaves the ground and is about to jump through his face.

Agreed...charge....the shooter went through the defender in the process of getting to the rim. The defender doesn't have lose have his teeth for it to be a charge. He can turn to protect himself as he did.

Very little contact at all. The shooter's knee brushes the flopper's shoulder as he flies by.

There was no charging call made on the play made by any of the three officials, nor should there have been.

Fouls aren't called based on what's about to or could happen, at least not in my games.

Tough one for me, based on shooter almost clearing defender, there's not much there, if he hadn't elevated as much easy charge. IMHO defender didn't bail.

I'm not really fond of the C in this video. He walked up the court and then didn't step down on a drive that he was responsible for. Even if there was a foul to call here, he just didn't look ready to officiate that play.

Great observation.
