What’s The Call?


That’s A Block! The defensive player was moving
Once a defensive player has obtained LGP, the player may move to keel that LGP. If the offensive player initiates the contact with a defender who has a LGP, even while the defender is moving, it’s a foul on the offense. A defender doesn’t have to be stationary to dray a foul.

The ball bounced over his head. That’s a carry!
How high the ball bounces while dribbling isn’t the key factor in determing a carry violation. Where the dribbler’s hand when in contact with the ball is the factor. If the location of the dribbler’s hand is on top of, or is on the side of the ball, the dribble is legal regardless of the height of the ball or the number of steps the dribbler takes between bounces. If the hand rests underneath the ball, then it’s a violation.

There’s got to be room to come down!
An airborne player who catches the ball does not always have to have room to land. The key is accurately determining who is at fault when the OP left the ground and the defender obtained LGP. If the defender obtained LGP after the OP went airborne, it’s a foul on the defender. If the defender obtained LGP before the OP went airborne, the bonus for getting out of the way is on the OP. The cry, ‘you’ve got to give the player a step!’ applies only to a DP who jumps in front of an opponent without the ball.

You can’ pass it to yourself. That’s traveling!
Following a try for a goal, neither team is in control. An airball, which is determined by the official to be a legit try for a goal, may be rebounded or caught by any player including the shooter. If the airball is considered a shot for a goal, anyone can track the ball down. If a teammate of the shooter can catch an airball, why can’t the shooter catch it?

They’re reaching in!
Reaching in is not a foul. The term is nowhere to be found in the rule book. There must be contact for a foul. A contact foul is either a hold, illegal use of the hands. The only time there is a foul is when the DP gains an advantage by restricting the movement of the OP or is aided in moving to guard the dribbler. A defender reaching and not making contact is not a foul.
