Trust me I like the physical play and as long as they call it both ways... I am fine with that. But i think that is why you see good post players popping out and shooting the 3. They just want to get a shot off with getting pushed or hit. I love the the circle thing for charges. I also like the fact they let kids jump straight up and no foul.
Semi-circle is fine if every official knew the rules to it; charges can still be taken inside the semi-circle ONLY IF you are the primary defender OR along the baseline by any defender...it's baffling to hear some of the arguments by officials on this one.
Semi-circle is to stop the secondary defenders from planting too close to the hoop, in many cases eliminating some dangerous undercutting plays.

In my opinion, the no-charge circle is incorrectly called more often than anything and that's why I would like to see it removed.
I hate how some refs (not all) get lazy in their reffing and just use the semi-circle as a reference when in fact some charges should still be called in there. Their excuse to every block call is that they are in the circle. I've seen many kids fly in out of control and should be called for charges.
