If the dribbler has his off arm straight out in front, with the defender on that side of his body, there is a tremendous advantage gained, which is defined as illegal. Even if his arm is bent, but the elbow is keeping the defender away from the ball, still a huge advantage. I call it a foul at the more experineced levels, but the 6th grade girls I had today, who were playing their first game ever, I just warned and warned and warned.
