There's a difference between "this type of play" and "this play." There's also a difference between what "should be ruled" and "what is ruled."

This play should be ruled PC everytime. (That's the answer to the question in the OP.)

This play will not be ruled PC everytime.

This type of play should not be ruled PC everytime.

Let's just be real, members are attacked on this forum for having a different opinion from the norm.

Given the agreed upon facts of the OP (defender has both feet on the floor facing an opponent on the floor with the ball), there can be no "opinion" on the correct ruling.

I really haven't partcipated rules wise in this thread, but I want to commend everybody for having done a great job in disecting the rules to show that this play was a charge and how important it is that the rules are applied correctly and that fouls are called using someone's convoluted nonsense.
