Did the FED rules change last night when I was sleeping. Oh wait - it's just another moronic comment by a TV analyst.
Could have been a guy that's used to doing men's college games? If a secondary defender attempts to take a charge under the basket, the correct call would be a block in NCAA-M. Of course, the announcer's explanation of how a block/charge play is still silly.
