re: The amount of Charges called today?

I’m sorry but you can’t call a charge of the defender is not set before the offensive player is in air. That happened a number of times. Specifically Gaines charge. There were at least 2 others with very minimal contact that were flops.

Yeah....that was a horrible call. What’s crazy to me is that they’ll call a charge on someone who was already airborne before the defender was set, but they’ll allow a shooter to jump laterally into a defender jumping straight up and call a foul on the defense. That is completely backwards.
