But the things that we do see are guys backing players down after they set legal guarding position. The offensive player just moves the defenderintoward the basket? Why do are we not calling the offensive foul in that situation.
I realixe that what it looks like and what are going on are two different things. but the flaling arms that are going around in the post to gain a position advantage are as much contact as a handcheck out front. The advantage is position. that is what we are not calling. The bodies bouncing off of each other really are not a problem. It is the arms pushing for position advantage that gets me. I make that call and I get a ton of grief for that. Yet it is as much of guide or control as a hand check.
