If an offensive player steps on the line while dribbling and the official sees it, it is OOB, If not, we keep playing (and listen to B's fans yell!). If a defensive player steps on the line and you see it, it is a block, not an "I have permission from NF to overlook this subtle transgression" kind of call. If you are reffing and calling what is obvious and you aren't locked in on the feet of a defender, you may not notice and therefore not call (note the absence of a wink here - I mean it as written!). If you see it, you are supposed to call what you saw, not pretend you didn't see it. |

That's the way i read it also
I read it that way also.
If you know w/out a doubt that his foot was OOB or on the line then call the block. But I know I had a play in a game last night with guy driving baseline and it happens so quick that it was after the fact that i thought about where his feet were. I know the defensive player was in bounds but I have not an idea where his foot was. but I know in my judgement it was a charge and that was the call. Thanks David |

I'm guessing he meant that his torso was over the court, hard to say if foot touched boundary. As a Coach, I hope you aren't staring at feet, but making the call just as described here. Happened quick, player not obviously OOB, looks like a charge, must be a charge.

What Hawks Coach said
Exactly!

I beg to differ. The rules states: Article 3: After the initial guarding position is obtained a. The guard is not required to have either or both feet on the playing court or continue facing the opponent. Just another take here: Could Article 3 mean that one foot could be in the air and one on the floor, and still retain legal guarding position, once established? Just a new wrinkle. I still believe that legal guarding must begin with both feet in bounds.

That's the approved interpretation of this play, and it couldn't be clearer. I'll repost it for you below. -Legal guarding position must start with both feet in bounds. -If the defender has a foot OOB when contact occurs, it is a block because the defender isn't in a legal guarding position. -One foot in the air and one foot inbounds means the player is inbounds- so that player may be in a legal guarding position. That's 7(b) on the posted interp. http://www.nfhs.org/Sports/basketbal...clarified.html |

It is very clear now. The bottom line is to do it by the book.
This is what I like about this forum, very informative, with many intelligent officials to learn from. Thanks to everyone for their input. Till the next question or comment. Thank you. |

I guess I need to consider myself lucky that the state of Arizona is going to call this the way the rule book says to.
