If you asking whether you can draw the charge while moving, the answer is yes. The defender does not have to be stationary, does not even have to be touching the floor. If you are guarding a player
with the ball, then all you have to do is:
1) be facing him/her initially,
2) then beat that player to the spot on the floor (unless the ballhandler is already airborne) and
3) not be moving
toward the ballhandler when the contact occurs.
If those three things happen and there is contact on the torso that displaces you, it's a charge (player control foul).
The rules are a little different if you're guarding a player without the ball. In that case, you need to allow the player you're guarding time and distance to avoid the contact.
