Do you want another "Whatta ya got"?
 

I can already hear it now......take a look guys and tell me what you think....no I was not working the game....Took place in the South Dakota State tournament....official called a "charge"....I can already hear "Old School" :)

PS - Notice the half circle used in NBA in black in the lane..defensive player is a step outside of it...if that makes any difference to anyone.

Charge - tough call because its so bang bang - but charge.

Looks like a pretty easy player-control foul.

I would agree with the official that made the call.

Just guessin' this thread won't be as long as the other one... ;)

Not unless someone pipes in with some "interesting" viewpoints :) :)

Agree. It's almost a duplicate of the other play. The defender just gets both feet down before the shooter becomes airborne.

Good charge call.

just kidding!

Shucks - what do you mean?

The fact that B1 is starting to fall backward doesn't matter, correct? He is allowed to establish position and "turn" to protect himself??? Just a question....don't have rule book handy...

Maybe he's saying you're just kinda boring?

(Don't blame me, I'm only the messenger!)

Huh, maybe you're right.

I'm going back to drink my Kool-Aid.

You're right. The defender can protect himself. I thought that the defender wasn't falling backward though; I thought he got knocked backward. There was a lot of contact.

That was my impression as well - the contact definitely caused the defender to go down.

Repeat after me....

"it's not all about me."

Again......

"It's not all about me."

For whatever reason, on my computer, the video freezes for just a moment right as the defensive player is getting his foot down. I'll take everyone else's word that the feet are there in time and say that the contact is a charge.

That said, as Mr. Grammar Guy, I'm a bit disappointed with South Dakota. Apparently, they play "Basket Ball" and they have a tournament of boys instead of a boys' basketball tourney.
