Re: The correct call is a charge

Right on, Damian! You are young, but you are really learning your stuff well. You are going to be way ahead of the curve when you reach your mid-twenties.

This is an example of a true block/charge play. Although most people, especially TV announcers, use block/charge when refering to plays in which the call is going to be a blocking foul or a player control foul. (Team control in NCAA) The player with the ball may actually commit a push, hold, charge or some other foul, but it will be reported as a player control foul, unless it is not a common foul. (intentional, flagrant, technical)

Since neither player involved in the crash has the ball in the play described, a player control foul is not possible and the charge will be reported, if the foul is called on the offensive player.
