Men's wreck league game situation
A1 dribbles the ball from the top of the key towards the FT line where B1 and B2 are standing "foot to foot". A1 continues dribble driving between B1 and B2. Of course, contact results from A1 initiating contact - he loses balance and falls to the ground. I am trail and partner is lead. Partner hits whistle first and immediately signals "blocking".
According to Fed rule book, contact in that situation is a PCF on A1.
10.6.7 SITUATION:
During congested play in the free-throw semicircle, B1 and B2 are less than 3 feet apart when dribbler A1 fakes to one side and then causes *contact in attempting to dribble between them.
RULING: Unless one of the *defensive players is faked out of position to permit adequate space for the *dribbler to go between without making contact, it is a player-control foul on A1.
Thoughts, comments? Anyone else see this type of situation from time to time at higher level of play? I haven't seen it in varsity action, but I have seen it a couple of times in wreck play and some elementary aged league games. Yet, I've never had PCF. Perhaps I should next time.
