Yes, I was implying that the shooter tries to avoid contact and that in the act of turning away the defender initiates. It would not be a charge if the defender simply turns away. But, I think its different if the shooter steps sideways, goes up for a lay up, and while in the air is contacted by the defender because the defender looked away and moved into the shooter.
