NCAAM Restricted Area?

[stiffler3492]

Do the same rules come into play with a player that has passed the ball as an actual ball carrier?

In other words, can a secondary defender take a charge from a player who has just passed the ball, even if that secondary defender is in the RA?

Here is the rule or an explanation of the the rule.

Fouls and Penalties. 10-1.12. A secondary defender as defined in Rule 4-61 cannot establish initial legal guarding position in the restricted area for the purpose of drawing a player control foul/charge when defending a player who is in control of the ball (i.e., dribbling or shooting) or who has released the ball for a pass or try. When illegal contact occurs within this Restricted Area, such contact shall be called a blocking foul, unless the contact is a flagrant foul.

a. When illegal contact occurs by the offensive player leading with a foot or unnatural, extended knee, or warding off with the arm, such contact shall be called a player-control foul.

b. When a player in control of the ball stops continuous movement toward the basket and then initiates illegal contact with a secondary defender in the restricted area, this is a player control foul.

Peace

Sounds like the play I saw tonight was incorrectly called then, unless point A came into play (about illegal contact with elbow or knee).

Wasn't sure if a passer was covered in the restricted area. Thanks.
