grunewar: Thanks for your research. If the NBA charge rule is the same as the NFHS charge rule, this scares me, as it perpetuates the myth that the defender's feet must be "set". Sports Illustrated is a major publication that is read, I'm sure, by many high school players, coaches, and fans. Even if the NBA charge rule is not the same as the NFHS charge rule, the article does not make that distinction, and, again, the myth will continue.
