Message: [QUOTE="Carnac, post: 3377641, member: 5798"] Yes, in today’s game. I was referring to 50 years ago. A lot of the refs today weren’t even born yet. I understand what you’re saying, but I’m saying that was the rule back then. I fully understand that it’s not that way now. I was on both ends of many of those calls. Charge/ block plays are bang bang. I had a firm understanding of what I had to do to get a charging call. Once you try to establish position to draw a foul, you don’t have to move. Usually if you do, you’re called for blocking. If a player just goes through you, that’s different. It seems we’re talking about two different scenarios. Look at the OU game. At the 33 second mark in the first quarter, Kyla took a charge. She was set and not moving. Had she tried to move as you suggest, she probably would have been whistled for a block. She didn’t move because she didn’t have to, nor did she have time to. It was a split second move/call. She was playing good defense, she didn’t have to move. [/QUOTE]
