A little more progress has been made in making charges more difficult to draw, and short of making it illegal for help defenders to earn them, I suppose this will have to do. This change is set to be implemented for next season:
Under the recommendation, a defender would have to be in position to draw a charge at the time an offensive player plants his foot to go airborne to attempt a field goal. If the defender arrives after the offensive player plants a foot to launch toward the basket, officials would be instructed to call a block when contact occurs between the two players.
