Northside!

I was thinking this one too but then I read 4-7-2 d and then I was like whoa, that's a charge. Unless you're visualizing something else.

Is it a charge if it happens at the 3 point line? Halfcourt? Or just below the FT line extended?

I'm not sure I'm understanding the question...are you asking definitionally?

Mechanically, we're going PCF in all cases.

By rule, I don't see a difference. Looks like they are all charges. I don't see anything in rule about location being of issue.

The player in possession can also be guilty of infractions under 4-24 in addition to it being a charge. It's an esoteric distinction really but I think you know that.

Illegal ball screen, hooking, push off,

You're correct, going to & through the torso is p/c & so is using the hand to push the defenders torso to create space for a shot or pass.

At the end of the day, we use the same mechanic for a p/c or charge by the ball handler.
