BTW:
Verb 1. nudge - to push against gently; "She nudged my elbow when she saw her friend enter the restaurant"
poke at, prod
jog - give a slight push to
elbow - shove one's elbow into another person's ribs
push, force - move with force, "He pushed the table into a corner"
2. nudge - push into action by pestering or annoying gently
push, bear on - press, drive, or impel (someone) to action or completion of an action; "He pushed her to finish her doctorate"
The word "push" is in there quite often  |
This is all wonderful, but we have words in the rulebook and the word "nudge" is not used. So if there is illegal contact, then it should be called. But all contact is not a foul and can be severe. That last wording is actually used in the rulebook. And since this is really a HTBT situation, this would be based on the judgment if contact was significant to displace the player from normal movement as a shooter.
