DVR technology/ Charging calls

[oak_street1981]

Now that I finally have a Dish with digital capacity and a DVR I have been slowing down the critical calls officials make, and....

the charging calls are out of control as usual.

Defensive players almost never have solid position, yet the officials continue to call charges, even when there is no non shooting arm push by the offensive player.

-small players recklessly throw themselves into the path of a driving player (MSU Gonzaga - #15 spin move at free throw line, second half/ defender moving the whole time with any push off) and then flop = charge

-when a small player does the same thing against a big man there is no flop and no call.

-players move their upper torso into a driving player who is moving past them to create contact = charge

-players trying to plant (usually still sliding) their feet then thrusting their chests into a driving player then flopping = charge Bo Ryan technique

Wisconsin players are the worst offenders on point three. They are clearly coached to play this BS defense, and the officials let them do it. They move into the path of the offensive player, never get set, then throw their arms in the air, bump the shooter, then flop.

When did the officials start calling charges in this manner? It did not happen 30, 20, or even 10 years ago, and it is out of control.

The DVR does not lie, yet officials now have clear bias to award bad defense with charging calls.

Defensive players do not need to have solid position.

Repeat.

DEFENSIVE PLAYERS DO NOT NEED TO HAVE SOLID POSITION.

Defensive players need to establish legal guarding position. This is done by A) having both feet on the floor, B) face the ballhandler, and C) be within 6 feet of the ballhandler. Once this has been established, the defender can move in any direction (left, right, forwards, backwards, or up) in order to maintain said defensive position.

Yes, the defense can move once he has established a legal guarding position!

If everything I mentioned above takes place, then the officials are looking for whoever initiates the contact. Hip checks and trips (the cases you mentioned) are still going to be blocks.

Things would be a lot calmer for us if people would realize this.

Thank You, everyone should read the rule book and the case book. It makes watching a great game even better.

So what happened? The officials just decided to

call it differently?

The defenders are running into the path of a driving player or sliding into the player in most cases, but because of the flop they get the call. These calls are total BS.

To stop a drive all a defender has to do is slide into / under the driving player. People do not buy tickets to watch a bunch of Duke type players flopping all over the place, which is what this type of officiating encourages.

The rules you cite cannot be officiated in a consistant manner, which is why the concept of having to be planted on defense took hold for years.

Seems to me that it's always been whoever gets to where they're going first. Most often, the refs think that the offensive player has the right of way, but in reality, a lot of defensive block calls are made that probably should be charges, especially when the offensive player puts a shoulder into the defender.
