Re: Nelson, Cuban dislike charge line

I'm obviously confused about the rule.  I thought if a defender was
positioned inside the "arc" they could not receive a charging foul
call.  In other words, standing under the basket, or "running into the
player" wouldn't be any benefit to the defense.

I've yet to see an entire game where this call was made consistently -
but that may be my personal problem.

I agree that the arc should be removed, and player/control fouls
should be called more directly.  There's way too many offensive fouls
being called where there's a minimum of contact (and no advantage
gained) and too many defensive fouls called simply by location on the
court.
