Duke vs Virginia Tech Charge Call (Video)

How do you decide who's entitled to that spot? What are your determining factors? This is the argument I'm making (and have for awhile), that the logic being used is illogical and does not give the offensive player ANY reasonable chance to avoid the P/C.

Who is entitled to it is the person who gets to it first legally. He did have a reasonable chance to avoid the contact by realizing he wasn't quick enough to beat the defender to the spot and pulled up short of contact.

The reasonable chance to avoid the PC is called a jump shot.

The offensive player KNOWS the defender is allowed to move and has to anticipate that the defender will move. If he can't change direction enough to get by the defender, then he hasn't made a move worthy of getting by the defender. A merge shift in direction just isn't enough. The defender should be allowed to adjust to the movements of the opponent. In fact, the defender can only react to the movements of the opponent...and still has the harder job as a result.

He should pass the ball or pull up for a jumper.

What you're suggesting would basically turn the game into an all-star game...no defense at all, just run layup/dunk drills.
