All because the ref says you cant take a charge under the basket. I didnt belittle the ref, I just told him that you can take a charge under the basket. We do play highschool rules, and the ref is a high school ref.

Particularly on a baseline drive. This ref has missed the boat on understanding the issue of being under the basket. In all leagues (NBA, NCAA, and NFHS), this is a charge. A case of listening to cliches and not understanding the principles behind them.
