An Age Old Question ...

Let's keep it simple. Ball handler uses the ball to push a defensive player away, gaining an advantage. It's a foul. Is it a technical foul (noncontact live ball), or a personal foul (contact live ball)? This question had been around a lot longer than the Forum, and has been discussed on the Forum numerous times. It centers on the definition of contact: skin to uniform, uniform to uniform, ball to uniform? How about chair to player, à la professional wrestling? Let the rulebook language dissecting continue. Maybe we'll come up with a definitive answer this time? Are you paying attention Theresia Wynns?
