Block or charge? You make the call.

Late. Block. Give C first crack, though.

I'll give the L the benefit of the doubt. This is a difficult angle, it looks like the defender took the contact more on the left side rather than textbook torso to torso.

I wish the L had been a little more patient. I think it would have been fine for the L to give the C the first crack at it given that the L was ball watching and the drive started in the C's primary. You can see the L rotate then watch the ball for the entire play. Slower whistle would not have hurt on this play.

I've got a PC here. I don't see what the L saw, though. Maybe she was sliding, but she was in position the whole time.

Do you mean the C?

I have a PC foul. Unless the angle does not show the defender sliding over while the player was going airborne, then I want to know what the defender did wrong?

Peace

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

No, I was talking about the L since the L made the call.

I was wondering because you wrote "she" and the C was female while the L was male.

There is no part of the rule that says that has any relevance. If the defender is in the path and the shooter diverts to the side just a bit such that the contact is off center, that doesn't negate LGP.

There are dicussions here about staying in your PCA. This call (type) really turn my beard hair gray. There is no reason for the lead to have a darn whistle on this play. Makes no sense!!!

I think, regardless of this should have been a PC or a block, that truerookie hit it on the head. The bigger learning experience in this video is that any whistle on this play should have come from C. If L is going to come in on this one, it should be with a very patient whistle after giving C every opportunity to call something on the play.

The lead should never have made this call out of his PCA and he was wrong--it should have been a player control foul and the C should have called it!

Agreed.

Perhaps the L was so quick with his whistle and preliminary signal, the C chose to withhold (swallow) his/her own.

Off topic, but female ref was gorgeous, slim New York runway model material.

That said, I think she was over her head with this game
