an offensive foul in basketball where an offensive player runs into a stationary defensive player
What is "charging"?
Charging in basketball occurs when an offensive player runs into a defender who has established their position and is not moving. The defender must have both feet planted on the ground and be in a legal position to take the hit. If the offensive player crashes into the defender, it is considered charging, and the offensive player loses possession of the ball. This rule is meant to protect defenders from being unfairly knocked over and encourages offensive players to avoid pushing through defenders in an illegal way.
Example
The referee called a charging when the player bulldozed into the defender.
Exemplu
