LEGAL GUARDING POSITION

This might make for some interesting discussion but I recently found out that the education officer in my association said that we should call an intentional foul if any player tries to take a charge from an airborne shooter or an airborne player with the ball, by setting up under them while they're in the air.

Any thoughts on that??

I certainly hope that what your "education officer" meant was on a dangerous undercut situation.

I've seen a defensive player set up a hair late many times before and get a block called against them, but it is in no way an intentional foul. If your education officer meant that literally, maybe he/she should be busted down in rank to "education private third class."
