Charging rule should just be eliminated...

Charges on shot attempts drive me crazy.. I think players should have the right to draw a charge when their man is driving or dribbling but not when he is going up for a shot. It makes it dangerous for the players. Go up for a block don't go sliding in his way.
I think getting rid of the charge would help teams that play defense. There is way to much flopping in the game and the refs can't figure out how to be consistent with it. They eliminated the 5 second call, which I think is easier to call than the charge, bring it back and get rid of the charge. I thought the refs were suppose to start calling technicals when they saw a flop. I have never seen that happen.
It's tough to call but if you get rid of it how would anyone ever be able to guard someone who wants to drive at them? Personally, I hate it when offensive players drive into a defender and are awarded with a foul call.
"If the expanded arc doesn’t work, more drastic change will be needed. Start by rewriting the rulebook to add the NBA’s no-call codicil: “The mere fact that contact occurs on these type of plays, or any other similar play, does not necessarily mean that a personal foul has been committed.” That effectively gives the ballhandler the right of way to the basket. Legalize the no-call, so to speak, and not only will offense increase, but the flopping, diving and soccer-style pantomime will evaporate from college basketball."

It would bring back centers that play defense like Hammons did. Purdue did not take many charges this year, they didn't have to.
Yea and Hammons guy that was left open because he had to help had about a hundred dunks/layups from being left open either via a pass or a rebound and put back.
