Charging rule

[potato]

I mention 3 point line just to make sure the offense is jumping from outside the RA, but i guess doesn't matter whether he jumps from inside or outside the RA right? As long as he doesn't stop his motion.

Well i saw a clip where Scottie Pippen took a Charge from Karl Malone on a 1 on 1 fastbreak, not sure whether RA exist back then though.

So the non charge rule applies only to non primary defenders yes primary can still take charge in RA?

What if it's a pick & roll, how would you then determine who is the primary defender?

It could be a legal play (shot block), or it could be a blocking foul. It can't be a charge. Too many people think it *must* be a defensive foul and that's not true.

(All of the above subject to the rules code being used, of course.)

Secondary defenders only -- and that term is defined and changes a bit on a rebound and a fast-break.

By knowing the game and the definitions.

In a pick & roll should the offense pass the primary defender who is being screened would the switched defender be seen as Primary or Secondary defender?
