Call on the court = Play on. Doris Burke agreed. What's your opinion?

I'm ok with the no call - mostly because the block did not affect the shot at all - but I would be ok with block too, as the defender never stops moving forward. Definitely not a charge.

I think a block would've been called if the T got back & had the same look we have.

Why in hell would the T have a whistle on this play?

The drive originates in the C's PCA.

The collision is in the middle of the lane.

There is no part of this play that the T has any business blowing.

It's the L or C's call all the way.

The C should'n't have been so happy with the spot their feet were planted after getting back to the starting area after the turnover when the drive started. The C should've been moving with the drive (some way to see an angle on this secondary defender play).

The T isn't at any kind of fault here. This was a turnover in transition with the ball not even getting to the division line. They were doing their job getting down court, and the drive happened immediately after the turnover.

The L, due to pinching and thinking about starting a rotation because of where the new offensive player is (and is looking like driving) - all correct things to think and do, IMO (maybe wait just a beat longer in case they do/did drive immediately), gets herself straightlined by bad luck here, and can't see (well) the defender moving toward the shooter.

This would've been a great C call. And I have a block.

I agree with the no call, but there should have been a travel first.

No travel there. She gathered the ball with both feet in the air then her right foot (pivot) came down and she took off from her left foot.

[BktBallRef]

Not even close to being a travel.

The contact still affected the movement both players. I think you have to call something there. Part of the reason they put that restricted area on the floor in the first place was to have these kinds of plays be called.
