rule wording says secondary defender can't establish LGP in the RA "for the purpose of drawing player control/or charge…" it goes on to say the RA rule does not prohibit the defender in the RA from trying to block the shot.
the purpose of the RA was to stop players from setting up to take charges near or under the basket. the rule specifically allows the player to jump to block the shot. and he's not doing that with "purpose of drawing a charge.."
so if he gets blown up by the offense, when he's not trying to get blown up by the offense, i think yo call the charge. that's just my thought from reading the rule etc. if the guy is truly trying to block the shot and does nothing else wrong.
