OK, now don't go off on me. I know I'm inexperienced and shouldn't be questioning someone else, but I have a question about this play (just for my own understanding).

Team B had a fast break because Team A is napping. Doesn't someone from Team A have to get back in time to get into LGP in order to draw the charge? I know I haven't done that many games, but I'm trying to visualize this play, and from the sounds of the OP, I'm picturing players running full speed down the court towards the basket. Unless A1 can get into position with 2 feet on the floor facing the dribbler, isn't the responsibility for avoiding contact on the defender?
