And I have to say, some of the charge calls farther from the basket are being made correctly even when the defender is moving. This is a positive trend ... as a defender who has established proper position (in front of the guy with the ball) is entitled to be there. The C/B problem area is with "sliders" under the basket .. when a secondary defender moves over to take a charge from an offensive player who's in the process of rising up to dunk or score. In this situation, the "gathering" rule was the best version yet .. even if some clueless refs (Tony Greene) had trouble with it.

On the other side of this equation is the Villanova problem. They're masters at sending mighty mites all the way down the court, brushing up against a big and standing at the FL all day. Some of that is just being aggressive and playing smart, which is fine. Other times the least bit of contact draws a whistle and bigs wind up fouling out. That's not a fun game to watch. In this context, I have to credit SOME refs that are no-calling these situations where the big walls up and stays vertical.
