I think guys taking charges is dangerous in some situations and it's just not a real basketball play. It ruins the flow with guys trying to beat the offensive player to his spot and then falling down. I'm sure there has to be some more tweaks to what the offensive player can do, but beating a guy to his spot should not count as a foul on the offensive player.
I respectfully disagree with this take entirely. The rules are already heavily weighted in favor of the offensive players, and a defender has a right to space on the floor. If he's quick enough to beat the offensive player to the spot and is willing to take the contact then it should be a foul.
