Rough Post Play

[Rick82358]

I know that we were told in the begining of the year to clamp down on the rough play in the post. So why don't we? In fact why haven't we?
I had to take this year off due to back surgery in August. So I have spent a lot of time this year reviewing games and films.
But the thing that irrates me is that he are calling the hand checks out front,(which are the right calls), but we are allowing guys to just back each other all over the post without making the calls.If we are going to call the hand check as contact, what goes on in the post has to qualify as a contact foul also.
I have the last 10 years of rule books on the shelf in my den and I bet that for at least the last eight years rough play in the post has been a point of emphasis.
You know that if we make the calls there consistently in a couple of years they may take that one off the list!
The fans also have a problem with us as officials calling the hand check out front 35 Ft. from the basket while it looks like two guys sumu wrestling for position at the post.
Explain the logic?
