How about just knowing how/why both players went to the floor? The defender flopped and the contact didn't affect the offensive player's movement (she passed the ball to an open teammate without incident).

On some plays, I agree with your point 4-40, but not on a block/charge play.

I don't think this is a true block/charge. As stated earlier in this thread, the only contact is initiated by defender's lower body when she flops. I thought this when I originally saw the play on espn. The offensive player is turning to pass before the contact, so I don't believe this play warrants a whistle either way, especially at this level.
