NIT: Arkansas vs. California Blarge (Video)

I think this is a charge.

Until they clarify when actually they are in their upward motion, he does not gather the ball until his last step, I think the defender is there in time.

If it is that close, I am going charge until they clarify this more in the rules or by interpretation.

Peace

I'm with you on all that, however, the last clip makes me believe this is a RA play, which should be a block.

It was certainly very close. It looks like the left foot might be over the RA.

Now was this changed to a block or did the call stand?

Changed to a block. He shot free throws.

[JRutledge]

Well that is what is supposed to happen when the defender is in the RA and the secondary defender.

Does the fact that it's a RA play change everything or would you still have to report both fouls if one of the other officials had signaled block?

Yes, the RA overides any PC aspect of the play unless A1 extends his arm or leg/foot into the defender, or unless the defender jumps in an attempt to block the shot.

Secondary Defender

A.R. 92. As A2 makes a drive to the basket, B1, a secondary defender, establishes initial guarding position within the restricted area. Contact occurs. One official calls a charge while another official calls a block.

RULING: B1 was a secondary defender who illegally established initial guarding position within the restricted area. Consequently, the blocking call against B1 is the correct call.
(Rule 4-35 and 10-1.13)

Consequently, this is the first time this year I've seen D-I officials offering information to the calling official as to the position of a secondary defender. It should happen more on the men's side IMO.

Block on defender for not being there prior to start of upward motion.

Block on defender for RA, which of course wouldn't have mattered cause I'm calling this a block.

I believe that's Greg Nixon as the C giving the extra information to the Lead. Nice crew work there.
