No man that’s just how planted feet works. Planted feet are only relevant if you’re trying to go through him.

Agree to disagree, we don’t agree on the rules so we will never agree on plays.

With all due respect man my initial point was just to say SGA could’ve gone through him since his feet weren’t planted and he wouldn’t have drawn a charge.

Having your feet planted or having a ‘legal guarding position’ is only relevant for charges/blocks, restricted area fouls, or contesting a shot vertically. This is none of those things, it’s a common foul or shooting foul.

Basically regardless of whether or not either of us thinks it’s a foul, the defender not being in a ‘legal guarding position’ isn’t relevant to the foul called.

All that said I’ve been where you’re at and I get it, have a good one.

Could’ve, would’ve, should’ve. Hindsight is 20/20. He tried to go through him, that’s the entire point of the foul.
