Could I please have an official explain the difference between an offensive charging foul and a defensive blocking foul in these two scenarios:
1) Defensive player has established position, both feet planted, does not move. Offensive player receives a pass and dribbles straight into his chest. Ref called it a blocking foul and explained that you have to give the defensive player at least two steps for it to be a charge. I can't find any reference to two steps and the only thing I can find reads that if the defensive player has established a legal defensive position, the call should be a charge.
2) Defensive player has established position, both feet planted and does not move an inch. An offensive player jumps in the air after the defensive player has established position to receive a pass. He lands with possession of the ball right in front of the defender and as he turns, he turns right into the chest of the defender. Ref again called it a blocking foul and said that the defender not only has to give the player space to come down but he also has to give space for the player to turn. The only way this could happen would be if the defender gives up his space that he's already established in a legal defensive position. He clearly established his position before the offensive player went in the air for the pass, the offensive player came down on the floor avoiding contact, and only made contact with the defender when he turned to go to the basket. I can't find where the defender is then required to give up his legal, established defensive position. In my opinion, this should have also been called a charge.
Thanks in advance for your replies.
