Thanks. I wasn't refferring to a dribbler but a post player. Example-A1 takes position under the hoop and holds up arm elbow bent to protect position/keep D away. B1 tries to stop incoming pass but is prevented by A1's elbow in B1's side. A1 does not extend arm, or push/displace, just matches the force being pushed by B1 to protect position. Legal in HS? How about FIBA?

I ref HS using Fed rules but the league I play in uses FIBA rules-and I was taught the arm bar by a Canadian teammate.
