So many people do not understand the NBA semi-circle anyway. It doesn't say you can't draw a charge inside the cirle. It says a help defender can't. The primary defender still can draw a charge. Also, it doesn't apply on drives from the corners. Under the basket is a great defensive position to defend a reverse layup.

It has nothing to do with drives the corners, but it does not apply when a player drives behind the backboard
1. It applies to "secondary defenders" 2. The drive has to originate outside of the LDB (Lower Defensive Box)
An offensive player can still be charged with a offensive foul on a secondary defender in instances such as pushing off with the off arm etc..

Uh, that's what I said. Drive from the corner implies driving baseline or behind backboard...all the same. Help defender = secondary defender. Since we're talking block/charge and LGP, push offs with an off are are not relevant to the discussion. Everyone knows that non-charge offensive types of fouls can be called anywhere on the court without regard to LGP.
For such a noob here, you're sure coming in here being pretty irritating.

Uhh, that's not exactly what you said. You said drives form the corners...I new what you meant I was just trying to make it clear for everyone. Others might might interpet drives from the corners literally. Also you made no mention of the LDB which is why I brought it up. I was basically agreeing with you because many people don't understand the RA.
Geez, don't get your panties in a bunch. I wasn't attacking you or anything.
