Therefore, I have no problem calling "it" the way the State wants.
Question:
A1 Rebounds a missed try, chins the ball with elbows sticking out. A1 pivots and contacts B1 in the head with their elbow. B1 is in legal guarding position.
A) No call, A1 is making a basketball move.
B) Player control foul on A1.
C) Intentional foul on A1.
D) Flagrant foul on A1.
Correct answer, in these parts; B) Player control foul on A1 |
So I had this exact play in your question you posted yesterday. I came in with an intentional foul for elbow contact to the head. The girl caught the elbow right in the nose. The varsity official that was evaluating me after the game thought I should have just called an excessive elbow violation. I am all about listening to those who have been here longer than me, but I really had a hard time with that interpretation. One of his P's thought that a PC fouls would have been appropriate. I still think that my sitch is PC at minimum, intentional most likely, but in no way only a violation.
