It takes younger officials a while to understand how to officiate post play. Just 3 quick items:
1-Verticality - Don't penalize the defense for maintaining their position.
2-Position - Don't allow either player to push or force the other out of his/her legally established position. This includes posting up and what coaches love to call blocking out. In many cases, it's backing out, not blocking out and it's a foul.
3-This should be easy. If there's little contact and no advantage gained, then you have nothing.

As a "younger" (I am using this term loosely!) official, I appreciate these guidelines: they answer a number of my questions. I am doing a girls tournament today, and I will be practicing to see just exactly what you say. We'll see how it goes!
