Charging rule

[APG]

You still didn't answer the question. Which rule set are you looking for? The rule is different from the NBA, NCAA men, NCAA women, FIBA, or NFHS. We need to know what rule set you're looking for (in all your questions) because depending on what rule set you're looking for an answer for, will mean you'll get a different answer because the rule is different.

For instance, under NBA and NCAA men rules, a defender must obtain a legal position before the offensive player starts his upward motion with the ball to shoot or pass. But for NCAA women and NFHS (and I want to say FIBA but I'd have to look that up), a defender has to get a legal guarding position before the player with the ball is airborne (meaning both feet are off the floor).

So again, answer specifically what rule set you're looking to get an answer for.

I'm looking at NBA & FIBA international, but would be interesting to know how other leagues sees it.

When you say NBA NCAA Moving up motion, that means any habitual movement prior the shot, i.e 1-2 step for layup, or pivoting for a jumper so you need to be in position real early in order to get legal guarding position yes?

No...it literally means when the ball starts upward to shoot or pass the ball.

Just wondering if Dribbler passed the primary defender & ran into another defender who has been in the zone to defend his own man, will the defender the dribbler ran into be called for blocking since he wasn't there to purposely block the dribbler?

He's in the restricted area guarding his own man and the dribbler runs into him. Is this a foul? I think that's what he's asking.

Not HS, there is no RA. With him I never know what we are talking about.

It can't be a charge. that's all. It can be a no-call or a block.

NCAA. Don't know about FIBA.

The main reason for RA is to prevent secondary defender from taking advantage by being there early for a charge, but if the so called secondary defender was there to defend his man, won't it be unfair to the defense that he has to make way & get out of position to let the dribbler pass, in this case he not only has to give up his position but also give up defending his man giving him a wide open under basket pass.

won't it be fairer to 1st determine whether the player trying to take a charge was actually there to defend the handler that went pass his primary defender?

There are restrictions as to when the RA is used. And it doesn't apply in high school or pick-up.

The RA doesn't prevent defenders from playing defense (going for a steal, jumping to block the shot, etc.)...nor does it mean the defender has to get out of the way.
