Offensive and defensive players who dislodge or displace an opponent from a legally established position must be called for a foul. Offensive post players who use an extended lower arm to ward off and illegally keep an opponent from fronting must be called for a foul. This illegal use of the lower arm is especially prevalent when the offensive post player moves from his initial post position to the other side of the lane to set his position again. Illegal grabbing, holding, extending forearms and “swim stroke” actions by defensive players must be called for a foul. The officiating of post play is not at the consistent level needed and officials must do a better job of officiating by the guidelines and CALL THE FOULS. THE PLAYERS WILL ADJUST.
