O Dilema das faltas ofensivas ou defensivas...

Hoje em Monsanto houveram umas equipas a discutir sobre uma falta em que o atacante vai com velocidade e o defensor teve dificuldades em colocar-se á frente dele "a tempo". O argumento do defensor era que o jogador defensivo pode estar a mover-se enquanto o jogador atacante passa por ele.

Pois eles deveriam lêr um pouco para terem mais informação:

Charging and blocking

Charging and blocking are some of the most controversial foul calls in basketball. Charging is defined as illegal contact by pushing or moving into another player's torso. Blocking is illegal contact which impedes the progress of an opponent. These are called offensive fouls. Sometimes, however, it can be difficult to see which player in a charging/blocking situation is at fault. In "charging/blocking situations" the offensive player is charging and the defensive player is blocking (but that is not to say charging is only committed by offensive players and so on). It is generally accepted that the offensive player should be charged with a charging foul if the defense:
  • was still, or moving sideways or backwards but not forwards, when contact occurred
  • took a legal guarding position before the contact, that is, one with both feet on the floor
  • was hit on the torso (as opposed to the arm or leg)
  • respected the elements of time and distance
However, NBA officials have set the standard "at the moment of upward motion" and the position of the defensive player's feet should not be a deciding factor. In the NBA, the question for officials to consider might be stated as such: Is the defensive player's torso set in position before the offensive player begins his upward motion?[2]
No time or distance is required though for an opponent who is guarding a player with the ball. Time and distance come into effect when a player does not have the ball. The elements of time and distance have been respected if the offensive player could have stopped or otherwise avoided contacting the defensive player, including if the defensive player was back-pedaling and gradually slowed down, and including when an offensive player turns a “blind” corner and contacts a defensive player having an established position.
Charging/blocking situations almost always occur with a player who is dribbling the ball (and the player who is guarding him).
A charging foul cannot be called if the play occurs within a 4' (1.22m) radius around the center of the basket (known as the restricted area) except for in certain situations.
A related call is the player control foul.

Ou seja, pode haver movimento mas os dois pés têm imperativamente de estar no chão e tem de ser atingido de forma perpendicular no seu tronco que é como quem diz, tinha de lá estár antes do atacante passar ou ocupar aquele espaço.
Atentem que se o atacante utilizar os braços para afastar o defensor é uma clara falta atacante e isso mts vezes passa ao lado do pessoal. 

Apenas mais informação para que as discussões como vi hoje em Monsanto diminuam!!

Abração!!
