Message for the youth: “Set your goals high and work for them, because if you set your goals where they should be, it’s going to require a lot of hard work. And even if you don’t achieve them, it shows longevity, and it shows commitment. And those are both things you need for the rest of your life,” Tony Fiegen
What a weak way to end the game. Should have been a no call. No way is that a charge. In fact I would have called that a block just because if it wasn't a no call

It was a good play call, I've seen similar from high school coaches though.
If Bader was set, its a player control foul on Youngstown, no doubt. I didn't think Bader was set, but whatever.

I don't like the call, but there is nothing in the rule book that says you need to be "set" to draw a charge or player control foul. It's a made up term basically. Kind of like "over-the-back". No such wording in the rule book.

If I recall correctly, the rule's actual phrasing is "establish defensive position" or something like that. "Set" is shorthand, but it is in fact true (but often ignored by fans and refs alike) that the defender can have properly established a defensive position without being completely stationary.
You are also correct re: "over the back" from my recollection of my read-through of the rules (which I last did a year or so ago, I believe.)

Good blog read on some common basketball rules misunderstandings. Rule #2 goes into block/charge foul.
It is interesting to find that we are operating from a philosophy for referees now rather than more objective performance and behavior of the players. I would agree that no game should have all contact called if no advantage/disadvantage can be discerned. If I catch the ball on the run, I should not need to dribble the ball since there is no pivot foot much like the guy tipping the ball down the court. This article is very informative to a point, but I would guess there are some fine points another official may view things differently as we can all see from game to game. Officiating is a very difficult job without Philosophy 101. The most difficult part is expecting all officials to recognize and call the same violations every time.. If that happens, I will be quietly applauding next JackJD.
Best to remember these are kids and they are doing everything they can to entertain us, be scholars, and all in all be great humans. Jackedforlife
