The defender got both feet down, in the path, before the shooter left the floor at the end of the slide. So, how far he had to slide is not really relevant.

It was very close but to me the shooter is leaving the floor as the defender gets his feet down so I don't feel he had any chance to avoid contact. How far he has to slide is a factor because he clearly was not in the path initially and did not get over intime for me. At full speed this is often tough to judge.

And, how far he had to slide does matter. If I set up in LGP on the right lane line in your path while you are several feet away when I slide over to the left lane line because you have adjusted your path then I have fouled you. Granted, if I can REESTABLISH LGP then its a charge but the farther you have to move the less time you have to get set.

To get what?

At the 19 second point of the video, defender has two feet down and is in the path, while the shooter's foot is still on the floor. It's certainly a close call, but it's the right call.

Rich1, There is almost nothing correct in your post....

Irrelevant. The shooter had a long time to avoid contact....before he started jumping. It is not like the defender appeared out of nothing. The shooter knows the defender is coming and has to make a choice. He chose to try to be the defender but didn't.

If the defender got his feet down before the shooter has left the floor, the defender got there.

All that matters is where he ended up, not how far he had to go to get there.

Not correct.

Again, not correct.

Time and distance are not a factor. Try again.
