To effectively take a charge in Basketball, a player must establish legal guarding position before the offensive player makes contact. This means planting both feet, facing the opponent, and not moving sideways or backwards. The defender must absorb the contact without initiating it, and maintain this position until the offensive player collides with them. This results in a charging foul against the offensive player and a turnover for their team.
