I've just about given up encouraging my players to take a charge. Around here (NorCal), it seems like the ONLY time it's ever a charge call is if the defender was clearly stationary such as on the sideline in a trap situation when the dribbler doesn't stop and just goes through the defender.
I'm not going to teach something that is always called a block and just gets us in foul trouble. One word answer to any response- v i d e o |

That's a good point

I guess if it's not real clear, but there was clearly a lot of contact, the inclination would be to make the block call. |

What I thought of was WHY was he looking into my area? |

We have an assigner and instructor in our area who's teaching incorrectly. He wants a block when the defender has LGP and steps back to absorb the impact of an opponent. His rationale: "he gave up his spot on the floor."
Probably too late to address the issue this season in an association meeting...

I agree with you, I wish coaches were required to know the rules. In our state all head coaches are required to take the rules test, BUT they are not required to pass it. And, of course, all the other coaches are not required to take the test, so we have 90% of coaches who never have looked at a rule book. I think coaches should take the test and if they pass the test, then they receive a "license" to discuss rules during the game. That license is a patch on their shirt or a card that they show to the officials prior to the game. If you don't have a license, then you are not allowed to question calls or rulings. One poster had a good one last fall in the FB forum: "I'll talk to you about it coach if you can tell me what color the rule book is this year." ![]() |

Had one of these a few nights ago. I passed on the call, because by the time the defender, who had perfect position, stepped back [and kinda flopped], there wasn't enough contact to call. |

Guarding an opponent with the ball or a stationary opponent without the ball: If the opponent with the ball is airborne, the guard must have obtained legal position before the opponent left the floor..

That's a good no-call, Sir Mick. My complaint concerns the play where the dribbler goes right through the defender's chest, and this instructor is telling people to call a block because the defender (with LGP) took a step back.

Had one of those inconsistent calls last week. Post player gives a fake to send the defender straight up in the air. While the defender was in the air, the post player steps about 30" under the hanging defender and, gravity being what it is, the defender comes down on the post player with the ball. The fans weren't really comfortable with my player control foul. ![]() |

I had same situation in a game a while back, GV, on a one on one fast break drive to the basket. The home coach literally jumped 2 feet in the air, arms extended, yelling, "She wasn't set"! Fans went bonkers of course. I walked over, and camly explained the rule to her. "Oh, ok, I didn't know that". "Well, coach, great, now can you please explain that to the lynch mob behind you"? And she did.
