Two feet down, facing the opponent. What's missing?

B players was moving backwards, but moved diagonally on one step to be closer to the middle of key, which is the path of A1.

I do see B1 having two feet down when A1 went airborne.

PC.

Charge. I thought so, anyway, and the lead had a better angle than any of us, including the C.

Looks to me that the defender slid under the shooter from the side.

I don't see B1 get 2 feet down in the path until A1 goes airborne.

B1 lost his initial LGP b/c he thought A1 was going to pass to the wing and B1 moved that direction. He did not regain a LGP before A1 went airborne.

Still, this is the Lead's call all the way, Center had no reason for blowing on this call.

He lost his LGP???

Explain your thought process here please?

He left A1's path at the beginning of the play to cut off what thought was going to be a pass to the wing. That's why you see him backpedaling at an angle to get back in the play.

Am I wrong in saying the defender must remain in the path of A1 to maintain his LGP?

This looks like a block. I've seen a couple of people explain why - but the only explanation from the "it's a charge" people is, "that's a charge." Why does anyone thing that? I'd like to understand their thought process to get there.

I thought he had both feet on the floor, in the path of the shooter before he went airborne. Yes, he moved while the shooter was in the air and centered the contact.

I explained why I think it is a PC in the very first response...again, the defender has LGP and is moving at a diagonal backwards from the shooter, and he takes the contact in the chest. I still think he was there before the shorter jumped after watching the video three times.

Ok...I can see that. But did he not get back over there in the path (I am talking before the contact) and have both feet on the floor facing the opponent? And his movement was diagonal away from the shooter...

That is more or less what I see too.

He had LGP but the shooter changed to a new path and the defender was no longer in it and had to shift to get back in the path. The defender was jumping sideways (and backwards) trying to reestablish position but didn't get both feet back down to regain LGP before the shooter was airborne.

I agree completely.

Wait a minute here...according to NASO we aren't supposed to be discussing this!
