The CHARGE Rule?

@Dazz - I think that was just a very bad no-call.
There's no way in hell that was not a charge.

I think we can all agree there have been some howlers already this season, something we have to accept I'm afraid...

When Beal was in the air a Hawk moved in front of him and called a charge, even though you cain't do anything while in the air. I get the impression of nbl being called differently for different players, rather called correctly.

Three F's
Feet First and Facing.
If a player gets his/her feet first to a spot and is facing then it is charge Unless in the protected zone and the defensive is a normal defensive stance.

Their is no time limit, just who gets there first.

Being charged at and hit in the centre or chest area makes it much easier to throw yourself backwards and fall over.

Officials basically never call a charge unless the defender falls over.

This leads to lots of flopping, which is called as a charge, but try and flop when you are hit in the side or hip as the ball carrier actually goes hard at you, looks awkward and will be called a block.

This rule is all about how it looks at the point of contact, very rare that officials actually get it right, and yes Vockuna was very unlucky on that base line block call, looked like it could easily have gone the other way, so a no call would have been the correct decision IMO...

Watching Kings v Breakers and once again dumb charging / blocking calls.

I think I finally understand the rule - if the defense has his feet set then aim for the guy's hip. You'll get the blocking call every time.

You'd have to be stupid to aim for the guy's chest when the pickings are so easy by aiming for the hip. So why aren't players scoring more?

The two on Prather were clearly the right call. Don't remember what the other one was.
