Didn't see the play, but the rule is supposed to be defined that you have to have your feet set when the player starts his shooting motion. I might not have worded that best, but basically when he picks up his dribble to get ready to shoot, not just when they leave their feet. I like that more charges are being called cause I think rules are geared to hinder playing defense but I've seen too many where they let guys slide in late and after he picks up his dribble. This of course applies to help defenders, not to a defender already engaged with the offensive player. Some people don't understand there's a difference. If you're already engaged with the defender basically you just have to stay your position and not move into the defenders way if he tries to slide around you. You don't really even have to have your feet set because your allowed to stay in your position, even moving. Meaning if you're backing to the basket and staying true a guy can't just run you over.
