Tom -- thank you for this very insightful and illuminating discussion of the block/charge. Too bad it doesn't have anything to do with the original post.
Obviously, you guys didn't understand me. What does it take to get through to you-all? Sheez, what a bunch of...
Hey, you know, Gordon is right, I like this routine! It feels great to say whatever offensive thing pops into my head and let YOU worry about it. After all, I can't offend you, unless you let me, right, Larry S? So it doesn't matter what I say, eh?

Uhmmm....I'm not the sharpest knife in this drawer but Juulie, wtf ARE you trying to tell us?? Make it simple enough for we dummys in the back of the class to understand, OK?

Dan, you must be some kinda dummy if you can't get it when mick and bz can. And as long as I'm not being responsible for the damage I cause, I can think of some other names...
...but maybe it's not fair to go all obnoxious and inner male on you, when you've backed down and done the squishy-feelings thing for me a time or two.
It's not the advice to "move your feet" that I've got a problem with. It's the timing. What mick said is exactly right. Player establishes legal guarding position, and stands very still to take the charge, and then when dribbler starts to get around defender, she moves her feet, just like coach told her. But she moved them sideways, and late, and now it's an easy block. And to top it off, what does coach say to defender during the free throws? "I told you to move your feet!" How helpful...
