come to think of it this may be osoto gari but the name isnt what matters...
The O Guruma setup. Because when you put the leg to perform the move, the uke must be unbalanced, and the tori must be "looking" to the ground.
These are three principles that always work:
1 - Break the balance/base
2 - Set the move
3 - Throw
In the setup you made, the tori is bending back when you're trying to set the move, and this will not work, will not allow you to throw. Most probably the uke would pull you back or down (<- because you are unbalanced, giving uke space to throw you).
