NFHS Boys

Player dribbling a ball under control - flying down the sideline, approaching a "set" defender.

At the last moment pass's the ball off and proceeds to run over the defender who's remains in a legal position.

Is this player Control? Is this Charging?
Is this something else?

It's not player control because he did not have control of the ball nor was he an airborne shooter.

It is charging and simply a common foul.

Ditto....best to know this now rather than when it happens in real life.

You have a pushing foul on A1,free throws for B if you are in the bonus.

In college you have a team control foul,and no free throws.

You are correct about the bonus - that could be a potential issue with coaches - they might think that because the dribbler had the ball, there is no bonus. Of course, they're wrong.

However, I understanding was that this scenario called for a charging foul and not a pushing foul. Semantics perhaps.

Player control if the passer still has the ball (no shots). Push if the ball is out of the passer's hands (Shots if in the bonus - NFHS).

This is one I learned here at the forum
 

I used to call I player control until I saw a simlar post about this. I still didn't believe it and studied the rules and case books some more. Glad to know about it before it happens to me.

One of my most memorable exchanges with a coach occured in a college game two years ago -- before the team control foul was adopted. I called a pass/crash "charge" against his point guard. They were over the limit, so the other team shot the bonus. In the second half, I called a PC against the other team. They were over the limit, but of course, no FTs were awarded.

Coach grabs my partner during a TO. "How come they got FTs and we don't?!"

He calmly explains the difference. After the TO, I walk to my position, which happens to be in front of the coach. I ask if my partner was able to answer his question.

He says "Yeah, I get it. But it stinks. They shouldn't make you guys split hairs like that."

I said, "A lot of people agree with you, but it's the rule, you know?"

He says, "Yeah? Well you can tell Hank Nichols to shove that rule up his @$$!"

I almost fell over laughing, but just said, "Sorry, Coach, but Hank doesn't take my calls."

We both laughed about it. Funny moment.
