Coach, as I said earlier, I didn't see the play, so I'm not even commenting on Shaq. I was only commenting on your statement that it's hard to imagine how a secondary defender could draw a PC without being stationary. If the secondary defender (or any defender) takes a forearm in the chest, it's a PC. Not that hard to imagine, that's all I was saying.

In this and other similar (arc and non-arc) situations, if the defender is moving you will have a block, if the defender is stationary you should have a charge.

Normally, that's what you will see, but as you know, being stationary is not necessary for drawing the PC. That's the most obvious way to draw it, but not the only way.
In fact, at higher levels, the officials I think are much more concerned with
where the contact occured, rather than what the defender's feet are doing. If the contact is square on the defender's torso, it's very likely a PC, even if he is moving. If the defender is standing fairly vertical and gets hit on the chest, then it's almost impossible to see how somebody could say that he
didn't get there first.

If you are referring to switching defenders as one defender gets beaten, I consider the new guy to be the new primary defender

Drake or Eli will correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that if KG blows by Kobe and then Shaq rotates to pick him up on D, Shaq is still the secondary defender. Shaq is the "help" defense. I don't think that losing your defender means you get a new primary defender, at least for RA purposes. I could be wrong, tho.
