Stuff Good Players Should Know
I would still teach the charge, but not expect it to be called correctly every time.
Anything that looks like a foul could be called a foul. Reaching up looks less like a foul than slapping down.
Instead of saying "reaching", say "hitting" or "fouling" or "contacting".
If the defender is continually placing one hand on the ball handler, say "handcheck".
Instead of saying "over the back" say "displacing" (with the understanding that it is ok to reach over another player as long as there is no displacement)
