In play 1 if the L gets to the defender earlier does it change his ability to get the call right? Watching it live I thought it was a charge. Play 2 I thought it was a clean steal.APG thanks for clipping all of these videos.

Yes, if he picks up the defender earlier he has a much better chance of getting it right. The defender does nothing illegal so it cannot be a block.

The ncaa videos all year have said only call a charge If you are absolutely certain. He wasn't certain because he picked up the defender late and defaulted to a block.

I think if Lead is already strong side and has more distance between him and the play I think he makes a no call. I know I am more likely to call something small a foul when I am closer to play. When I am rotating across like that and there is a block/charge in the lane it's harder for me to no call because it's right in my lap and looks so big, if that makes sense.
