Because they do not have to.

Block is what I think I'd have at game speed. Too much forward movement by the defense IMO, although I'm having trouble reconciling that from the endline view blue stopped her forward movement and after the collision is moving backward (to and through?).

Straight-lined travel call? She should get fired for making this call. Jus' kiddin' JD, jus' kiddin'. The travel is a cop out, though. Maybe the C should have button hooked? Is this even a 3 whistle technique? I'm stuck in 2 whistle purgatory...

Having looked at this in every way I can, I've got a PC. At the time of contact, the defender's feet are so far in front of her torso, the only way she could continue forward, and possibly into the ballhandler, would be to sit down.

That, in combination with where she came from, pretty much tells you she (specifically her torso) was moving forward. She jumped forward into that position but her torso was still coming up over her feet. It is probably impossible for a person to get their feet out like that otherwise.

Finally watched this on the computer instead of my phone. I still have a PC.

I see two feet down and in the path establishing her LGP. I don't think she gets a chance to move her torso forward before she's contacted.

I'm in the BLOCK camp, but I could live with a PC.

Travel call is awful here. I'd love to hear his thought process as to how he came up with it.

Another point that supports a conclusion opposite the conclusion you made.

Getting two feet down in such a movement pretty much guarantees that the torso is still going to be moving forward to come up over the feet before they can get stopped.
