Thanks - I'm already learning something new. What are the 4 absolutes on a ball dribbler? It would help if I knew that.
Honestly, I'm absolutely amazed that a defender can smack a dribbler across the chest and it not be a foul (video 2). We haven't taught that but maybe we certainly will start. No more trying to get into good position.
What I'm reading is that in video 1 the offense has all the rights to his space. And in video 2, the offense doesn't have rights to his space.
I definitely have to send my parents to this thread because they would all say that video 2 is a foul. And if it's not, we are teaching our kids the wrong way and they are giving their kids the wrong feedback.
I see these same officials doing HS games.
No comment on video 1? Or too close to speculate and let it stand as called?
