Message: [QUOTE="Jack Hall, post: 2078401, member: 3962"] I agree with you more or less, know what youre trying to say. But heres the problem- you HAVE to stay in front of the ball handler. If you cant do that every single possession would end up in a layup. The only way to stay in front of a guy is to constantly move your feet, which sometimes/often times includes sliding. Its all about having proper position. When guys are moving really fast its just really difficult to determine who has the proper positioning. Especially when they change the rules every other year. Bottom line, defenders have to have a way to stay in front of the ball handler. If you dont have a charge call it would be impossible to stay in front of your guy (and in between basket) at all times. Imo the charge call has to exist for defenders to have any chance, im just not convinced they have properly defined a charge call and or call it properly [/QUOTE]
