Any player has the right to any spot on the floor, provided she gets there first, and gets there legally. In block/charge situations, the general rule is, see the defense before the contact, and if the defense is legal, and the contact is not incidental, then it's a charge. In your situation, defense is legal if they get to the spot before the dribbler/shooter leaves the floor for a pass or shot. If the defender is just standing there talking to her little sister, and the dribbler/shooter plows the defender, it's a charge every time, regardless of who is facing which way, who is secondary or primary, or which part of the body takes contact. If the dfender is moving toward the spot, whether sideways or forward, when the dribbler/shooter leaves the floor, then its a block. If the defender was at the spot in time, but then moves backward, it's still legal as long as backward means away from the dribbler/shooter.

These are general rules for what to look for with a secondary defender, especially if you're not a ref or are a new ref. An experienced ref should be able to keep track of two defenders, and determine the block/charge based on the movement and LGP of the defense.
