Q: So, if the offensive player drives to the basket, beating his defender and some interior defender comes over to help out, then if contact occurs within the RA, its a block, correct? Is the line part of the RA? Do both feet have to be within the RA? Can the feet be on the line and the player still be considered in the RA?
A: right...if the drive starts outside (above) the lower defensive box (ldb) and the defender (any defender) obtains a legal guarding position outside the restricted area (ra), it is a charge. the line is part of the r.a....according to the rules, if the foot of the defender is on the line of the r.a., it should be considered a defensive foul...
if the drive starts below the l.d.b....the defender can take a charge within the r.a....EXACTLY what was called in game 1...
