  • 6 people disliked this video because they can't take a charge.

  • The call is correct. It is a player control foul because a charge is under that kind of foul, so you can call it either way - as a player control foul or as a charge.

  • Wrong. That is the mechanic for a player control foul.

    not a charge.

  • yeah it might be a myth.. but thats what the referee looks for most because its eseayier (i suck at spelling) for him to see

  • The block/charge is the hardest to call, like the official said, and I've often seen it called wrong. But, it's all about judgement and the angles.

  • Spot on. It's a myth that you have to be "set".

    Such bad practice.

    As long as you're in your legal guarding position, you can move backwards or even laterally (as long as contact occurs not as a result of your lateral movement)

    Easy.

  • You are right! You must gain and maintain legal guarding position. You can move your feet all you want in order to maintain legal guarding position then the responsibility falls unto the offensive player to get past the "torso" of the defensive player. That was a block though because the offensive player was able to get past the defender and legal guarding position was not maintained.

  • It's a myth that you must be "set" to take a charge.

    Yes, you have to start with two feet on the floor and facing your opponent. That's legal guarding position. Once legal guarding position is established, though, you CAN move laterally or obliquely to draw a charge. You can even jump straight up, because you're allowed to guard your spot from the floor to the ceiling.

    Being "set" doesn't hurt, but it's not a requirement.
