I, for one, would like to see the rule changed that awards a free throw to a player that leaps, off-course, into another player while driving for a shot. Aari McDonald does it frequently, so does one of her teammates. The other player that used to do this, ad nauseam, was Kelsey Plum, and, of course, the pros do it and get away with it all the time.
It ought to be a charge. If any player veers off course to cause contact with another player in any other situation on the court, they would be called for a foul. This kind of maneuver cheapens the game in my opinion.

Agreed.  And especially agree about Plum.

FWIW, the WNBA refs were wise to that trick and didn't let Plum get away with it so often after she went pro.
