Think about it.....

I worked mainly with WCW, so worked with a lot of those guys -- Meng was one of my trainers (big Samoan guy), Billy Gunn, Eddie Guerrero (RIP)... in a battle royal got knocked around by a lot of famous guys hahah.

And while the punches are pulled, a chair to the head is still a chair to the head, getting slammed on your back is still being slammed to your back, etc.

Agreed. The defender was still moving into the dribbler when contact was made, as the dribbler had changed direction to move around him.

That's fine. I'm sure it's not the first one you've ever missed.

I agree that the defender can still move laterally. If he had taken one more step to his right and taken the contact more squarely in the chest, I think I would be more inclined to have a charge.

I agree....1 more step to the right and this would be a charge. (step being at least 1 foot or so).

It's at least the third.
