What I meant was, and I noticed it in the last look on the video, #15 white seemed to me to "lean out" where #25 red was going. Then when she got there, started to dive just prior to contact. Doubtful I would have gotten it at game speed, but noticed it in the above video. I just like the no call here.

I see a PC foul on play #1.

I see no foul on the defender in play #2. I would go TC foul or nothing. Likely nothing.

Peace

Play 1: Block

Play 2: TC or nothing

I don't see any forward movement here, either, but I think the defender puts herself on the floor. I could live with either a PC or a no-call.

#1 - I don't see B1 being set (both feet down) prior to the contact. Block.

#2 - Watching this play live, I thought PC from my view. I still think so.

Things Officials Should Probably Not Be Saying In A Game

“He wasn’t set”, is often an official’s answer to a coach who is questioning a blocking foul on his player. This implies that a defensive player must be set, and can’t move, to take a charge, while, in reality, the rules say otherwise. A defensive player does not have to remain stationary to take a charge. A defender may turn away or duck to absorb contact, provided he, or she, has already established legal guarding position, which is both feet on the playing court and facing the opponent. The defender can always move backwards, or sideways, to maintain a legal guarding position, and may even have one, or both feet, off the floor when contact occurs. That player may legally rise vertically. However, if the defender is moving forward, then the contact is caused by the defender, which, in this case, is a blocking foul.
