Player A1 is DRIVING TO THE BASKET for a LAYUP. What is the DECIDING POINT BETWEEN BLOCK OR CHARGE.
A defender must establish his position before the offesnive player starts his upward shooting motion with the ball in order to draw an offensive foul. If a defender SLIDES into position (this is an RA thing.. get it) after the ball starts upward, a block foul should be assessed.
Incase you dont understand, let me explain the rules further to you. The words SLIDES into position is critical. You see, if you are the primary defender, you dont slide into position, you are actively guarding the player with the ball, in which case the RA DOESNT APPLY AT ALL.
So the only time the RA applies is for a 2ndary defender who is SLIDING in to take a charge.
in order to be "legal" and take the charge, the 2ndary defender must have been there BEFORE HE STARTED HIS SHOOTING MOTION. That is what makes him legal Mr i wish i knew as much as a fanboy boy...
you guys are so easy on this forum. i expected more  |
I hate to rain on your parade, but if this rule says nothing about RA, then it's not about RA specifically. It can also be about the primary defender, as it looks to me like the definition of defensive position.
Primary defenders can slide into position if they've fallen out of position. It happens all the time, and it's how you generally get a charge called against a primary defender.
