When did running to a spot and standing still( A charge) start getting promoted as good D in BBall?

[The God Poster]

There's a joke here somewhere

Naw...Taking a charge is Smart D as refs allow it. Doesn't make you a good Defender tho

 

[Majestyx]

Sound like you're confusing good D & Smart D

pause

but those "slip underneath attacking the basket player" charges can be silly, but it not as bad as jumping into dudes who bite on pump fakes

 

[OG Talk]

You can tell the dudes that never played organized ball on this forum

Because the defender isn't actively defending anything. They are just running to a spot on the floor and standing still before the O player gets there (most of time its the same time the offensive player gets there)

Its part of the reason College Basketball is so terrible because every drive to the lane is a charge.

Im asking when did this start? Because I don't remember this being a thing in the 90s (even though I was too young to really process what I was watching)

That's called zone defense.

That's called zone defense.

you know what i mean

 

[HHR]

So help defense shouldn't be allowed?

OP must have been listening to Bomani Jones today.

I was watching Cavs vs Memphis Lebron did this and got rewarded.

The one time I listened to Bomani he stole my point from here.

What did he say about this?

Chris Webber once said that an offense charge should be taken out of the game. He was saying it tounge in cheek, but I partially agree with him.

The charge is becoming cheaper and cheaper. Dudes have one foot in the air and some a$$holes jumps in front of them and gets the charge. I think its cheap.

Also, no one over 220 lbs or 6'9" should be awarded a charge call.

 

[#StarkSet]

If they took away the charge and jumping into people to get a foul the game would be





Might even bring me out of my Kobe retirement

Thank you NBA for doing the right thing last night

That play should be called a block everytime so players will stop doing it

 

[WMG the 2nd]

agree with threadstarter...the charging call used to be a deterrent to bully ball. now it's used as a defensive tactic that hinders attacking the basket

It doesn’t really hinder attacking the basket
Find me a game where a team shut down a guy by getting multiple turnovers due due charge calls
It also is why the euro step became so popular

Scottie Pippen fathered it.

There's more of these threads too...ya'll better let JR take the L for that game last night and stop complaining about the refs and that call
