Years ago I had a boys' H.S. varisty game where Team B had a 6'-08" (B5) center who was a pretty good player. Team B like to play a 2-3 zone defense with the big guy anchoring the middle of the back row. Early in the 1st quarter Team A's 5'-08" (A1) point guard drove the lane, B5 bailed out and fell flat on his back. He looked up at me with the look on his face that said who could that not be a charge. As we went back up the court I told B5 that if he wanted the charge he had to stop being a wuss and stay in there and take the charge like a man. He laughed said I was right and took three charges in the 1st half.
