Fun With Incidental Contact ...

[BillyMac]

Is this a handcheck, block, charge or incidental contact? Observe the play and make a determination if there is a handchecking foul by White No. 4 near the division line. In the official's judgment, this was not a foul. Green No. 1 then drives toward the free-throw semi-circle. Make a judgment as to whether or not this is a block, charge, or incidental contact. In your comments, indicate whether or not you would have ruled a handchecking foul.

Three choices: This is a blocking foul. This is a player control foul. This is incidental contact.

My comment: This is incidental contact. There's a lot going on here, but I believe that everything is incidental contact.

Handcheck.

Nothing.

He does not extend his arm. This is nothing.

The initial touch is ok because the White player takes his hand immediately off (aka the "hot stove"). In spite of the subsequent jostling between both of the players, I'm OK with the no-call that was made here (while open to other thoughts).

I saw two hands, followed by one hand, followed by contact once the dribble starts. YMMV
