The lead has got to make the foul call in that situation.

Second play started both players started pushing and hand fighting/holding space with arms. I am ok with no call on the one who was stronger. If you call a foul here I am ok with that but it better be a when hand fighting starts not once someone gets something out of it.

This precise play was repeated several times back in the late 60's and early 70's with the Knicks Cazzie Russell the player drawn up to dunk the half-court throw-in. Interesting now only for the fact that it's illegal in NFHS though OK for NBA. Haven't heard what NCAA-M or -W think of it.
BTW, who besides DeNucci would even remember back that far?

Anybody remember Willis Reed coming out of the locker room with a torn thigh muscle before Game 7 of the 1970 NBA Finals against the Los Angeles Lakers in Madison Square Garden?

This thread has nothing to do with IAABO, your belt or your little corner of Connecticut and we all know there is no above the rim play at your CYO games where none of the moms are interested in your pocket size slide ruler.....

Just a reminder to everybody. In NFHS rules, while it's true that you can have a basket interference violation on a throwin (offensive or defensive), you can't have goaltending (outside the cylinder), because one must have a try (no try on a throwin) to have goaltending (offensive or defensive) violation.

Goaltending is when a player touches the ball during a try, or tap, while it is in its downward flight, entirely above the basket ring level, outside the imaginary cylinder above the ring, and has the possibility of entering the basket.

Is that a slide ruler in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?

Disagree (at least for NFHS / NCAA rules). Other than the automatics on the dribbler, a foul can be descried as "contact that causes an advantage." You can address the "hand fighting" and it should cause yo to be aware, but you can't call a foul until "someone gets something out of it."
