Hi, sorry if these has been asked already, I didn't notice any tools that I could use to search thread topics.
Question 1: If the offensive player drives around a screen (parallel and then a sharp turn to be perpendicular to the basket)and lowers their shoulder and makes hard contact with the torso (under the ribcage) of the secondary defender (Who was the defender of the screen)who has taken a step parallel to the basket in the same direction as the ball handler but the defender is still between the ball handler and the basket, is it considered a no call since both players appear to be at fault?
Question 2: Can a secondary defender draw a charge if they intentionally go beside the primary defender and (exactly like a wall in soccer) turn their back to the offensive player so that they are facing the basket rather than the offensive player and their feet are planted? Does it matter if the offensive player has picked up their dribble and driven past the primary defender before the second defender sets their feet?
