Just to spark a little discussion....

First one to occur is the one we call, isn't it.

Before the charge can happen OOB, the defender must be OOB, thus in violation before the collision. Otherwise the defender is not OOB and it is a charge.

Doesn't this sound a lot like a phantom travel call that is so common when there is a charge at mid-court when a player just receives the ball...except for, of course, the travel is really a made up call since it didn't really happen (I don't call it either).
