RE: Charging rule needs to go away

Question: Is the defensive player's torso in position before the offensive player begins his upward motion to shoot the ball? The rule is that a charging foul cannot be called if the play occurs within a 4' radius around the center of the basket or the so-called restricted area. This is why in a blick of an eye that officials have a difficult time between a charge and foul. Most of the time the officials have an easier time to make a call. But. When the game is close and the teams are tied for example: Officials sometimes don't make a call and allow fouls to occur, especially at the end of close games. Kansas was fortunate this week.

You mean like when travel hopsflop would bunny hop 1 to 3 times then go into a 3pt.stance, lower his shoulder & run over someone ?
Or just talking about falling down as if you have been hit by a sniper ?
