TC1 RETAbet Bilbao vs Brose Bamberg No Charge Semicircle Basketball Champions League

Black 8 starts a fast break and goes for a lay-up. Defender White 20 stands in a legal guarding position and a contact occurs. The referee calls a charging foul to Black 8. Article 33.10 On any penetration play into the no-charge semi-circle area, any contact caused by an airborne offensive player with a defensive player inside the no-charge semi-circle shall not be called as an offensive foul, unless the offensive player is illegally using his hands, arms, legs or body. This rule applies when: The offensive player is in control of the ball whilst airborne. He attempts a shot for a field goal or passes the ball. The defensive player has one foot or both feet in contact with the no-charge semi-circle area. Outcome: Incorrect decision from the referees. Defender White 20 had his left foot in contact with the no-charge semi-circle. 2 points should have been awarded to Black 8 for the field goal.
