Block/PC/No Call? (video)

And having the ball would matter because then what would apply is more screening rules as time and distance could play apart of this call. But with that being said, I am not calling anything on the purple player in this case if I was able to see all the play as I did with the video. That might be hard if not 3 person, but I do not see this any other way. And every player is allowed to have their spot on the floor if they get their first. Purple got there first and did so legally. Not an issue of LGP if the player does not have the ball. But that could be splitting hairs too.

Peace

Agreed. If anything, I think this is a PC, but I know it's close. If I saw the video again, I might see something different and go with a no-call or block.

Had the purple player just been standing there without an apparent attempt to get to the ball, it would have been an easy charge. Since she was starting off going for the ball, I think it changes the way its viewed. The offensive player got the ball first, but she then proceeded to run over the defender who had given up.
