A1 is dribbling rapidly toward the basket, gets past the B1. Just before A1 jumps up to shoot, B2 slides across the baseline, and sets to take the charge. A1 veers slightly, starts to pull up (I theorize to the coach afterwards) but is still moving at a pretty good clip. B1 jumps up, and bumps the shooter enough for a foul just as the ball is released. Shooter plows B2, and they all end in a heap out of bounds behind the basket. I blow my whistle, and think push, charge, block, double, shots, out-of-bounds, HELP!!!! The easiest sell is push on B1, and forget the PC. Coach B doesn't like passing up the charge, but can't deny that B1 gave a good solid push. Actually, the whole thing went pretty well. But it got me thinking....
Suppose B1 gives A1 a good push, but I judge that A1 would have "charged" anyway? If both fouls happen while A1 is an airborne shooter, how do you call it, and how is it penalized?
