Block or Charge?
A1 is guarding B1. A1 has established LGP. B1 begins their dribble towards the basket, A1 anticipates, moves latterly and has now beat them to the spot but still moving. B1 continues forward and makes contact.
1) If A1 goes down from the contact (even though they weren't standing completely still) is it a charge? 2) If B1 goes down or loses the ball, no foul? |
#1...Sound like a PC foul to me....as long as A1 (the defender) was not moving towards the opponent at the time of contact.
#2...possibly a no call...if the potential foulee is the one on the floor or has lost the ball, have they gained any advantage trough the contact or put their opponent at any sort of disadvantage. Also, note that, traditionally, A is used for the offensive team and B is the team defending. |

I have a foul in both situations because the contact clearly caused an advantage or disadvantage to the players. And anytime contact causes someone to lose the ball and the player was not in a legal position, then that is a foul. But the problem I have with the question is the first play the defender is either moving forward or he is not. Peace |

Yep. My bad on the initial use of A and B. In my scenario A was the defender, B was offense. Thanks for the correction.
