Block or charge? You make the call.

Bang-bang play - but she slid in at the last split-second, I thought.

I had a PC foul on this one!

If the lead is going to come in on this play, he's has got to have a lot better cadence with his whistle. He didn't even allow the C to make a decision on the call. And he very well may have gotten the call wrong...hard to determine the lateral movement with the angle in the clip.

Charge.

[Texas Aggie]

Charge, and frankly, not that close. However, the camera has a better angle than either C or L. C in their regular position would be straightlined, so L taking this call is fine, even though he doesn't have a much better angle.

Before anyone says block, please describe what the defender did that was illegal.

Aggie, I'll respectfully disagree. That play is in the C's primary and she's in the correct position. She really doesn't appear to be straightlined. Maybe the contact surprised her but if it did, it shouldn't have because she should have anticipated the play if not the contact.

On another front: what gets me is the C didn't even blow her whistle. Yes, the L came in fast when he shouldn't have but the C didn't even pull the trigger. Again, maybe it was a case of being surprised by the contact.

I've got a charge. I've looked at it several times and can't see anything but.

The left foot looks like it might be moving, but she already had LGP and I don't think her body is moving into the shooter.

If that is the case, it must have been so slight that no one could tell. I always give the benefit of the doubt to the defense. No one is going to be perfectly still.

Peace
