This is a lot of information, proably more than any of you wish to know, but i think it is important


-to obtain legal guarding position a player must have both feet on the floor and the gaurd's torso must be facing the opponent

-From this position, the gaurd may rise or jump vertically and occupy the space w/in the vertical plane

-the arms and hands of the defender may be raised w/in this vertical plane while on the floor or in the air

-There is no penalty for the gaurd leaving the floor vertically or having the arms or hands extended w/in the vertical plane

Commments:
-THe offensive player wheather on the floor or airborne, may not "lear out" or cause contact w/ the defender's vertical plane. player control foul or personal foul

-The gaurd may not "Belly Up" or use the lower part of the body or arms to cause contact outside the vertical plane.

-The player with the ball is not to be given more protection or consideration than the defender in judgine which player has violated the rule

Block/Charge

Blocking is illegal personal contact which impedes the progress of an opponent.

-The gaurd has not established legal guarding posistion

Comments:
gaurding an opponent w/ the ball or a stationary opponent w/o the ball, no time or distance is required to obtain an initial legal position, if the opponent w/ the ball is airborne, the gaurd must obtained a legal position b4 the opponent left the floor.
-Gaurding a moving opponent w/o the ball requires more time and distance to establish lgp. the distance need not be more than two strides, if the opponent is airborne. the gaurd must obtain a legal posistion b4 the opponent left the floor.

charging is illegal personal contact caused by pushing or moving into an opponent's torso.

-a player w/ the ball is required to stop or change direction to avoid contact if a defensive player has obtained a legal gaurding position in the player's path.
-If a gaurd has obtained a legal posision, the player w/ the ball must get teh head and shoulder past the front of the torso of the defensive player. If contact occurs, on the front torso of the defensive player, teh dribbler is responsible for the contact.

i appologize if i confused or bored anyone
