I'd say only in the situation that the offense puts his head down and hits one a defender in the chest or runs them over. Going between two players is not a charge, but more than likely a travel if he trips over the defender (and the conditions for a travel are met). Notice I said tripped
over the defense, not tripped
by the defense (if defense initiates contact it's probably going to be a blocking foul). Otherwise... nuttin.
