Basektball: difference between a charge foul and "and one" foul?
**Just started watching basketball so the gameplay are a bit confusing for me
On a drive, what constitutes being called for a charge vs making the basket and getting an "and one" foul free throw?
Also when Brewer tries a shot from the perimeter and misses (the ball is almost coming off the rim), why doesn't Noah just come and dunk it? Instead I see him and the other team's center getting involved in a tipping battle. Is there a reason this happens or does Noah just lack hops?

First, to be a charge: The defender must be planted, not moving, not shuffling feet, definitely not sliding under a player that has already left the ground.
If it is NBA basketball, he must also be outside of the half-circle under the basket. If he is inside of that, he is considered too close to the basket, and the defender will be called for a blocking foul regardless of his feet being planted. In college, there is no half-circle, so a charge can be taken anywhere.
There are floor fouls (no foul shots) and there are shooting fouls (2 or 3 foul shots depending on whether a 2 pointer or 3 pointer was being shot) If you are fouled in the act of shooting and you make the shot it counts, and you get one more shot at the foul line, that is an "and one"
Many times blocking fouls and charging fouls are argued by the offending team because there is such a fine line as to whether the defender was moving or not. Also, there are cases where the defender can be moving, but the offensive player simply lowers his shoulder and is called for an offensive foul.
Typically, what the refs look for though is planted feet.
As for the tip vs. dunk question. I can't tell you. I'm sure if he could, he would simply dunk the ball, but usually there is another person jumping for the ball and you would need to jump significantly higher than him to be able to dunk the ball. It does happen sometimes though.

^what danl said. and about the tip vs dunk thing, the reason he doesn't do that, is that 9 times out of the 10, due to the fact that the bulls are taking the shot, Noah is getting boxed out. That's where the defender has him so that no one can usually get the ball but him if the ball comes that way, sometimes though other players can still get it. When a player boxes out you'll usually see his hands out sideways or backwards and he'll be leaning back in the. Offensive guy to make it harder for the offensive player to get around. Once you boxed a guy out, the boxed out man is not allowed to GRAB the ball over top of the defensive player. That is an over the back foul. So the offensive player tips it up so he can get out of the box out and jump back up for the ball bit if he sees someone else going he will tip it again and again until someone gets the ball. Or the few times he does have position for the offensive rebound, you are not allowed tontouch the ball on the rim or while the ball is over the rim. There is an imaginary cylinder that is the rim on up thT your are not allowed to touch the ball while it's in. That is goal tending. Then when you jump for the ball, normally a defensive guy is right there going for the ball also, so a hand will be right next to the ball trying to block it. Also the time for you to react to the bounce of the ball, jump, grab it, relize you can dunk it if you go quick enough, and actually dunk, is so quick you can't react fast enough. Normally when a player does dunk it right off the rebound is because he's thinking before he jumps that no matter what I'm dunking. And to be able to rebound and dunk a in one motion is hard. I've made 3 out of about 10 trying it this year so I've stopped. It's a lot safer to just come down with the ball and if you have an open shot, go back up with it or even get the ball back to your Point Guard to run a new play and get a good shot. If you need any more explanation let me know, I ca give more but I figured this was a good start.

Charge is when you run into a defender after
he has plant his position.
and one, is when a defender foul you during a shot
and the basket is made. then you are rewarded with
one free throw (and one, a chance for 3 or 4 point play)
if the shot is missed, then you get 2 free throw will not
have any effect on your shooting percentage.
about getting rebound. it is depends on your position,
reaction and some times luck.

charge foul is when you run into a defender before the line.
