Willie, if the UConn player had position before the contact, then the official called it correctly. The "shifting" feet are irrelevant. I'm not sure I follow the reasoning behind your post. Could you explain a little more?

The point is that Billy "Giblethead" Packer thinks that if a defensive player does not have legal guarding position before a shooter leaves the ground but gains it before the shot is released, the subsequent contact is an offensive foul.

This IS what I was commenting on. The SIU player had become airborne, the Uconn player "slid" under him and Packer's commentary implied that it should be an offensive foul if the SIU player had
not shot before contact occurred.
The only way I could be misintrepretting the play is if the NCAA "Charge" is significantly different than NFHS?
