I sat in the very top row on the opposite side of the court, so I didn't get a great look. Was that a good block call or should it have been a charge? It seems at the very least the refs owed us one for that flop called a charge on White in the first half. Bitter pill to swallow today for the Hawks.
Block or charge on Nigel Hayes?

You could make a case for it either way, very close. But we've seen over and over and over agin that the Refs call that a blocking foul, so to continue to do it ahem you aren't going to get the call, isn't a successful strategy either. McCabe needs to recognize this and play better defense.

McCabe will NEVER get that call

This is non-sensical.
mccabe was there position-wise so I thought it was a charge even if he was still slightly moving his feet.

No it isnt, there are lots of analysts who have said it is position and not neccesarily having both feet firmly planted.
So you are saying a defender who has total position but a foot slightly in the air and the guy with the ball lowers his shoulder to go through the defender and that should be called a Block,
Now that is non-sensical.

why?? Nothing in rule book says you have to be set to draw a charge. Just that you have to be in legal guarding position.
correct, Hayes started his dribble from 15-18 feet out and Mccabe was already in his line to the basket, mccabe positioned himself , could have been a no call but there was good contact

Charge, but officials are calling fewer and fewer charges on offensive players. I would have rather seen McCabe rip his arms off the ball and give Hayes 2 free throws, as opposed to the bucket and the free throw.

Most likely a block, but since it was McCabe it is always called that way no matter if the guy is running from the half court line straight into him in a stationary defensive position with his hands up. His reputation has determined that call before it even happens, he always gets the charge called on him when the defender is clearly not in position on offense. If you think officials don't have a predetermined mine set coming into a game your crazy. Officials should be rotated without conference affiliation, we have too many decisions being made during a game by biased word of mouth judgments.

It's a call that usually goes to the home team but when Izzo or Bo are in town it'll go to the visitor.

Originally, I thought it was a no-brainer charge, but the reply shows different and it was a block.

An average defender would have drawn a charge. It was correctly called a block

In the context to which we are speaking, the NCAA rules committee issued the following:
"Before the offensive player (with the ball) becomes airborne, the defender must have two feet on the floor, be facing the opponent and be stationary to draw a charge. Otherwise, it should be a blocking foul"
So since Zach was defending a shooter, my initial interpretation of your post is correct.

I too was off the Barco-lounger shouting "WHAT??" but after seeing the replay, it was the correct call.

Uh, nice flop by Jackson earlier also.....Wisconsin players are magicians when it comes to the art of disguise....they do an outstanding job of no contact when there is contact...i.e...the subtle lowering of the shoulder, or the slight extension of an elbow....it doesn't look like much, but the result is enough separation for a shot...

Because he is usually moving his body. Although today, the officiating seemed very sporadic. It's like they weren't sure if they wanted to let things go or call things close, so they did neither very well. Could have called a charge, but they didn't.
