Well, using the ability to rebound to adjudge whether the offensive player can get a carom is fine except for the interim seconds. For a short shot, that may certainly work, but with such a shot, will the shooter actually land ? So many times I see the senseless butt-to-legs thingy out around the arc. Now, if I were to wait to see which way the shot was going to bounce and then call the *block*, there would be lotsa egg on my face for the 3-4 second delay. mick |

This is not just about advantage/disadvantage, it is also about rough play...you know that POE we have every year.
Letting this stuff slide is what causes more stuff later on, get it the first time and the line is drawn. |

call it - it is not boxing out - it does give an advantage because it is displacement and it moves the player from a legally established position that might allow them to defend the fast break or other such events.
Determining if the shot rebounds into the area they were / are in give advantage to the defender. would you use that criteria for a play who displaced a rebounder from behind right at the rim? No call because the ball went to the other side? Call it! It will make your life easier if you get it early and often you will not see it for long.

Contact?

As an official, there is of course disadvantage/advantage etc., that might be considered, but I don't see this as a preventative measure at all. On every rebound there is contact, guys pushing, grabbing, moving their butt into other players etc., I don't see that as "rough play" anymore than I see a 5'3 guard putting a body on a player after the shot has been released. Why should it be any different than in the paint? Its basketball and there will be lots of contact, but I don't see that by calling this a foul its going to clean the game up at all. Maybe its just me, but that's the way I see it. Now if he puts the other player on the floor or something drastic that's different, but simply blocking out is not rough play. Thanks David |

FYI, grabbing, pushing, and moving their butts into another player during rebounding IS ILLEGAL CONTACT and not basketball. Calling games the way you propose is why rough play is a point of emphasis every year. ![]() |

I have seen this more and more as well. I have even heard a coach tell a 6th grade player to box out another player by pushing him all the way to the wall. I quietly told the kid "don't do that, it's a foul".

As I wrote, rough play gets called. A mere 24" displacement is less than a step backward forced upon a player barely involved in the action. finis. mick |

It happens probably 50+ times in a game with good coaches, less than that in a game with poor coaches. There is contact, but its not rough play. As Mick said, if he moves the player out, call the foul, but as the rule book states about contact, there will be contact and some of it pretty rough in this game. Keeping the game clean is all about knowing when to call the right foul on the right player, not simply calling every bit of contact a foul Thanks David |

Normally A1 holds his position against B1 & B1 holds his position against A1. They do this by pushing against each other with their bodies...it's senseless to "hold your position" if there's no one else trying to push you out of it. That said, why should A1 be penalized because B1 fails to hold his own position and permits A1 to displace him?

I guess we won't call the push on B1 that sends A1 flying since A1 did not hold their position either. |

a player may not:
a. Displace, charge or push an opponent. b. Extend shoulders, hips, knees or extend the arms or elbows fully or partially in a position other than vertical so that the freedom of movement of an opponent is hindered when contact with the arms or elbows occurs. c. Bend his/her body in an abnormal position to hold or displace an opponent. d. Violate the principle of verticality.

Your series of "yeahbut-whatif" plays are not relevant at all to the scenario we're discussing. Let's try again: if it's legal to "hold your position" while blocking out then against what, exactly, are you holding your position?

That phrase in no way describes the sumo match you are suggesting, and yes by your "next logical step" the plays I gave are completely relevant. Displacement is displacement, it does not matter if it is the boxer or the boxee, or block/charge, if they are moved from their legally obtained space by contact and it hinders them it is a foul. I include the likelihood of further pushing and shoving into my definition of hindering as well. |
