Block/Charge

#2 Wrong. He has been listening to too many TV commentators. The defender does not have to reestablish a legal guarding position with every move (both feet on the floor etc.)

I know the NBA has different rules on these things, but...

I was watching SportsCenter last week, the morning after the Warriors beat the Lakers. Kobe drove in looking for the game-tying layup, but Earl Boykins slid in front of him and took a charge. On the slow-mo replay the announcer (Kenny Mayne?) said "Let's see if his feet are set...it sure looks like his right foot is up in the air off the floor, a bad call." or something to that same effect.

Enough of these comments pounded in the mind of a bball player/fan/coach/official makes this such a difficult call for people to agree on.
