Question

A1 is dribbling on offense with his back to B1. He reaches his non-dribblign hand around and hooks B1, pushing off and locking off a path to the basket.

I've got a foul on A1, but is this a player control? Or a push? The reason I'm curious is what happens if its a bonus situation. Player control they wouldn't shoot. A push they would.



Also a funny note on player control fouls, in one of my games today had A1 jump right into a defender who was not only in legal guarding position but also completely set in their spot way before take-off. Easy player control call. A1 comes down the court yelling at me that B1 didn't fall down. I couldn't help but laugh and bite with the question - What does that have to do with anything? He let me know that I can't call a charge unless the guy falls down. I smile and let him know I've never heard that rule, but its irrelevant because I called a player control foul, not a charge .
