I agree with Brad. SOME contact is okay, However when we start BACKING Players out that's a foul.
Ron I agree with Brad too.
The player being "blocked out"(boxed out)is entitled to his spot on the floor and if he is being moved by the other player then we will have a call. Players here (Australia) are agog when you call it and I put it down to bad coaching or no coaching in defensive techniques. If coaches spent a bit more time on teaching good defence instead of saying bad luck when a foul is called for really ugly defence then our job may get a bit easier.
