Specifically it deals with secondary defenders attempting to take a charge. The restricted area doesn't apply when a defender alights to block a shot, an offensive player makes an overt move (leads with foot, wipe outs, etc.), or a play originates in the lower defensive box. As far as primary vs. secondary, the on-ball defender is the primary defender, and everyone else is secondary unless I'm misunderstanding it. It wouldn't really add anything to the process since I figure most of us can do that without thinking.
