This is an example of a charging foul. An airborne offensive player is responsible for contact if the defender has established a legal guarding position with both feet outside the Defensive Semi Circle (DSC). This means the defender must establish legal guarding position prior to the offensive player leaving the floor.

In this example, Red 8 establishes an initial legal guarding position with both feet outside the DSC defending White 55 in transition. White 55 jumps in the air, passes to a teammate in the corner and then causes illegal contact with Red 8 who is still in legal guarding position outside the DSC. This is a charging foul by White 55.
