Call on the court = Block. Your opinion?

Many of the people that do the hiring see it just the opposite of you. They mind air in the whistle across the paint & dont care much about what an official was "going to do." You either signalled or you didnt...

Fair Enough

[Camron Rust]

I agree this is very close, but I have a block. No LGP...defender was still moving into the path until the time of contact.

[JRutledge]

I have a block on this play. The defender never stops and is coming forward toward the shooter.

Peace

Block in real time. Too close to reverse it in slow mo...and Doris Burke actually said something accurate for a change..."This is the hardest call in basketball...any official will tell you that"

I guess it depends on the official and what you live by. I do not think the block/charge call is that difficult at all. I think it is usually an easy call if you watch the right things.

I agree, block / charge is not the most difficult call, especially if you get in good position to officiate the play.

In this case, defender moved laterally to get to a spot before contact to the torso. All the makings of a good ol' fashion player control foul. While the mechanic might be for the C to have this, the lead was in much better position to see the defender. $.02

That's funny, because the other thread "Call on the Floor = PC is basically the same thing and you got it wrong too.

In both cases the defender is moving forward and into the offense, this time the L started to show...she learned her lesson and was really slow in the C-ship game to avoid the BLARGE

I've got a PC.

I notice that the C was almost as high as the T. It helps to sell a call like this if you're closer to the play.

Was waiting for someone to mention that.

Again fellas, with Women's mechanics here it is NOT necessary to have an echo whistle from the lead with plays originating outside of the paint going to the hole. Mary has posted many bulletins on the NCAA site about this type of play. It is just danger for a blarge situation that the C would overrule anyhow!

Block. No question.

[MD Longhorn]

I'm having trouble seeing this as anything but a block - I don't ever see LGP, and defender is moving into the offensive player when contact is made (at least - below the waist she is.)

[BillyMac]

Tough call. I've got a player control foul. I wouldn't have a problem if somebody else called a block.
