Message: [QUOTE="cuseincincy, post: 2930714, member: 331"] Since when did taking a charge become "NOT playing defense?" Of course it is. If it wasn't, Kristof Ongenaet would never have seen a minute of time at SU. And we loved him! It's called a player control foul. Taking a jump shot and the offensive player wouldn't/won't make contact. The fact that it was 40+ feet from the basket is irrelevant. Offensive players have to control their body too. They can't be so out of control that they run into a positioned defender. It's called a right to a spot. The offensive player must go around the defender. If he is so out of control that he can't that is a foul. Good call, make your free throws. [/QUOTE]
