New case book play involving the restricted area.
A.R. 122. As A2 makes a drive to the basket, B1, a secondary defender, establishes his initial guarding position within the restricted area. Contact occurs. One official calls a charge while another official calls a block.
RULING: B1 was a secondary defender who illegally established his initial guarding position within the restricted area. Consequently, the blocking call against B1 is the correct call. (Rule 4-61 and 10-1.12)
Here's one situation where you won't go with the blarge...this is also how the NBA handles blarges involving the RA/lower defensive box.
