“This is an example of an offensive foul for charging, as the Restricted Area does not apply. The secondary defender, Trae Young, establishes legal guarding position in the path of the offensive player, Grant Williams, who receives the ball in the Lower Defensive Box. Because the defensive player established legal guarding position, and the contact is initiated by the offensive player, this is an offensive foul for charging. Please note that the Restricted Area does not apply in several situations, one of which is when new possession occurs inside the Lower Defensive Box – the area from the bottom tip of the free throw circle to the baseline between the two 3’ posted-up marks.”
