Message: [QUOTE="Cuseregular, post: 4543006, member: 185"] Just not getting this, I get the position part in that he was physically in the space in between Mintz and the basket, but both players were literally moving at full out speed on the play. Literally when looking at the whole play. That’s a charge? With the defender literally moving with velocity as the offensive player moves too? In this case, yes, the offensive player is moving faster than the defender is moving as he slows down, but both are still literally moving in space at that point in time when that play is looked at it’s totality. If ya take a one second stop look in the middle of the play (any play for that matter), sure one could make that interpretation, but that makes no logical sense to look at a split second moment in time in the middle of an active full run play like that. I know the rule there says no set time is needed to be there stationary and only one foot need be down while twisting your body away, but is that saying you can also be moving?! I don’t think so, at least it’s not addressed. In that same rule book, I believe it says that the offensive player has the right to a lane to the basket. This bs lax guarding/charging interpretive rule supersedes that? Just don’t get it. If so and this is the case, then virtually every single play away from the circle under the basket (and other than if a defender moves forward into a guy or undercuts a player who is already in the air), other than that every single play is a charge. Every single one. You could do it on every virtually single offensive play to the basket with your defense if this is the case. Wouldn’t that be fun, and horrible. It’ll end up being like the old FourCorners defense that needed to be legislated out or at least corrected. Like NIL, The portal, etc., Something is gonna need to be done To address this mess. Meanwhile, until it is addressed, somebody tell the coaches and players stop driving in these situations and kick it out to others to shoot, or stop and shoot themselves. [/QUOTE]
