I'm not sure I like the new charge rule. That lower box is a really big area. It seems like the new rule gives the offensive player the right to run over anyone in that area as long as they start with the ball outside of it. Seems to me like this is a rule designed to penalize schools that play good team defense and instead tries to award one-on-one play which tends to benefit the big name schools.
I know, maybe I'm paranoid. I guess I'll have to wait and see how this turns out.

Just the opposite. If the defensive player is in legal guarding position inside this area before the offensive player starts their move outside of the half-circle, it will be an offensive foul. The point of this rule (and the amended rule in the men's game enacted this year) is to clear up the block-charge fouls.

OK, I misinterpreted - the wording on the NCAA site is very imprecise. Doing more research, the restricted area is still just the arc under the basket. The NCAA release wording made it sound like the whole lower box becomes the restricted area is the player starts outside it. That is clarified on other sites. See, I knew I was just paranoid.

The NCAA is a lot of things. Clear with rules is not one of those things.
