In this basketball scenario, B33 has established a legal guarding position by jumping straight up with both arms vertical over his head. A4, the offensive player, initiates contact by going to the basket and hitting B33 in the chest. However, this is considered a charging foul on A4.

Despite the contact, A4 releases the shot, and it successfully passes through the basket. The offensive player's actions result in a charging foul, which means the defensive player B33 maintains his legal guarding position, and the offensive team loses possession of the ball. The successful shot does not count due to the foul committed by A4 during the play.
