Interesting, and understand I only stay interested as a fan, not an official, but that means a secondary defender in the RA is actually advantaged under the rules if he jumps and stays vertical, then he would be if he stayed down as a statue and got run into. The latter would be a charge.
Are you saying that the proper call is a no-call? or a charge, if we assume no contact other than vertical with the defender.
Robbie Hummel was beside himself on the play that it shouldn't have been a foul on D
