Block Charge play (Video)

[twocentsworth]

imho, this is a block. The defender cannot move AFTER the defender has left the ground to maintain LGP.

KEEP IN MIND, this play (like virtually ALL plays) is best seen by the official who has the play coming towards them. This angle is NOT the best one to have a call on this play....the angle FROM THE LEAD IS!

He's not maintaining his position, he is in the path before the shooter goes airborne and never leaves it.

The rule requires him to have a legal position before the shooter goes airborne, which he does. He never does anything to lose that legal position.

The defender can not move "into the path" after the shooter leaves the floor. It doesn't say the defender can not move at all.
