Message: [QUOTE="JoePgh, post: 4202842, member: 1131"] In fact, my understanding is that the no-charge-inside-the-circle rule only applies to secondary (help) defenders. The offensive player's primary defender can still take a charge, even inside the circle. I think that is just for the reason that you suggest. However, this exception puts even more burden on the officials to distinguish in a split second between primary and other defenders. I think it is an unreasonable expectation on referees. [/QUOTE]
