A study to determine the status, importance and value of taking a charge in basketball by coaches in the United States and selected European countries.

Coaches from the United States, Croatia and Slovakia were surveyed. The results indicated that in the U. S. that .757 percent recorded the statistic, .772 percent planned practice-time to teach the skill/tactic, .839 percent emphasized or strongly emphasized the tactic for their defense, and .654 percent agreed or strongly agreed that Taking-Charges should be part of the official record of the game. For Croatia nad Slovakia, .553 percent recorded the statistic, .690 percent used practice-time to teach the skill/tactic, .494 percent emphasized or highly emphasized the tactic in their defensive structure, and .512 percent believed that the statistic should be recorded in the official record of basketball.
