Another video request
It's getting too quiet around here. Let's see if we can create a block/charge talking point...

APG, Game 7, 10:19 left in the 3rd, blocking foul on Battier. Can you provide, sir?

NBA: Blocking Foul
NFHS/NCAA: I think it's close, but I think it's a charge.

Block
I have a block. I don't feel Battier established/obtained LGP before Pierce went airborne. It doesn't look like he ever got two feet on the floor while he was facing Pierce.

In my high school game, player control foul.

In real time, I was amazed it wasn't a charge. I agree it woulda been a PC in high school.

Really? I think in real time, under NBA rules, I would have been more shocked if it was called a charge...especially when we get a view from the baseline camera.

Agreed. That play looks very different from the baseline camera than it does from the other views.

Charge. Good defense. Anticipated the play. Beat him to the spot.

Both feet on the floor before any contact, and before Pierce became airborne:

Cool, but given how close it is - with Battier's right foot not settling until Pierce has a toe on the floor - I can see how this was called a block.

It wasnt clear to me until the last super-slow replay & he got it in real time.
Tough play, nice call!

This was called a block because in the NBA, a player must get to the spot before the player starts his upward motion with the ball rather than when the player becomes airborne a la NFHS/NCAA. In the clip above, Battier is still sliding to the spot after Pierce starts his upward with the ball...too late under NBA rules...while NFHS/NCAA you still have yourself a little bit more time to get legal.

Thanks, APG. Just checked that out in the NBA rule book. I didn't realize there was that subtle difference. So I can feel better about calling a block
