The other night I saw a defender who had taken a charge shoot free throws. I saw it during a Division 1 game. Has there been a rule change at that level? Isn't this incorrect? Under what scenario whould he be shooting free throws? HELP!!
Many thanks!

whistle101,
There is no Airborne shooter foul in Men's.

Rule 4-25-7 A player control foul is a common foul committed:
a. (Men) By a player when he is in control of the ball.
b. (Women) By a player when she is in control of the ball or by an airborne shooter.
