Call on the court = PC. What do you have?

(you might consider the defender's heel to be on the lane line but that really isn't enough to say the contact took place in the lane)

Well you need to go back and look at it, because the defender was in the lane, then moved to cut off the ball handler. The contact took place with the defender with a foot (left) on the floor in the lane. The defender was still coming forward and then her feet were eventually out of the lane, but landed on the floor completely in the lane. Now in Men's mechanics they want the Lead to watch that defender as they were coming over as secondary help to stop the drive. Maybe this is a Women's college thing, but that is a play they want the Lead to call or focus on as the competitive match-up is coming at them. It does not mean the C cannot make this call or make a call, but they do not want the Lead to just ignore this contact. To me outside the lane means the contact, player and everyone was outside the lane when the play took place. The play certainly originated outside the lane, but ended up there no matter how you want to split hairs. When both players are laying in the lane, it did not take place completely outside the lane either.

While I agree this is the lead's call to make (defender rotated from lead's primary), you should go back and look at that video again. Your description doesn't match the facts. The point of contact was outside the lane and the shooter never even contacted the lane or had any part of her body over the lane, at any time, much less was laying in the lane.

Either way, it is a block.

You said PC earlier but then you describe a block...

Which one is it?

Camron,

The second comment was about why the Lead would have that player and make a call, not necessarily what I believe the call should be. And yes the defender was coming forward which they can legally do until contact takes place.

Peace
