Play 1. PC

Play 2. Block, but really close.

First time through at full speed...

Play #1: PC, great get, I see that called a block too often. (sometimes even a NC)

Play #2: I though an easy block, shooter in the air before defender in postion.

2nd time slow motion, same results.

PC on #1.

Block on #2.

First one is closer.

I agree with Bob.

I've got a block and a block.

The 2nd play is an obvious block.

The 1st one, I don't agree that B1 can lean forward outside her cylinder and still draw a charge. It's the principle of verticality, not the principle of obliquity.

#1 PC..can't get much better position than that.
#2 Block...moved into the path after shooter was airborne.

I have

#1 Block - She moved forward

#2 Block - She didn't get there soon enough

#1 - PC
#2 - Block

Disagree. Look again and watch her feet compared to the floor, esp. the slo-mo side shot.

#1 - PC
#2 - Block

1. PC..defender moved laterally after LGP.
2. Block...defender slides under Airborne Shooter

These are both blocks.

First play - defender moves up and into the dribbler. If you think back to that John Adams presentation a while back from Seth Davis, it's what Adams said "precisely what the defender can't do".

Second play - defender is late.

Both close.

Both blocks IMO.

1. PC
2. Easy block

I agree.
