Charging, on-ball defender establishes legal position before upward Charging, on-ball defender establishes legal position Charging, on-ball defender in transition establishes legal position
“This is an example of an offensive foul for charging. The on ball defender, Jake Layman, legally establishes himself in the path of the offensive player, Brandon Ingram, and the contact on the play is initiated by the moving offensive player. By establishing legal guarding position in the path of a dribbler before contact is made, the defender here effectively ‘beat his opponent to the spot,’ and drew the offensive foul for charging.”
