Block or Charge or No Call (Video)
What are the teaching points in this clip?
As a coach, I want to know if this is called correctly so I can teach my kids. I see legal guarding position followed by lateral movement. Who has the right to the floor space if both players arrive at the same instant? <iframe width="1280" height="720" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/_o6cI_WohVY" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> |
There is no video.
Peace |

(Carry on the dribble before contact)
Definite BLOCK and I love the T's mechanics |

I think you're thinking of a loose ball situation where two opponents are both moving to a spot together. In this case, contact may be incidental, even if severe, if both players were legally converging without employing illegal contact. |

This is not lateral movement. |
By "lateral" movement we're not talking about the defender's right to move sideways. What that means is the defender has to move in the same direction (forwards/backwards/right/left) as the dribbler. I can't remember the exact wording in the rule book, but it may also mention speed as well.
The defender in this case indeed moves sideways, but not at all in the same direction that the ball handler is moving. http://avcssbasketball.com/wp-conten...cking-Foul.jpg |

Let's see if this works
https://youtu.be/_o6cI_WohVY I'm good with the block call here. She lost LGP and did not reestablish it. And I do not have a carry. |
I'm curious what people think lateral movement really is. This player was in the path and facing the opponent with 2 feet down....she had LGP.
Then she moved in a direction that was perpendicular to the direction of her opponent, even slightly towards the endline...that is lateral movement. Lateral movement is about the direction of movement, not the direction the defender is facing. Once she has LGP, the direction she faces is no longer relevant. The fact that she turned sideways to shift does not affect LGP. That said, I still have a block because I feel that when the dribbler changed direction, she did so quick enough that the defender was no longer in her path and had to reobtain LGP...which she didn't. |
Who said anything about her turning sideways? Let alone for a reason to call a block or charge?

No, it doesn't mean what you say (especially "forward") Speed / distance are not a consideration when guarding a player with the ball ("airborne" is a factor). |
