Forearm in the back.

[Fox40]

I have called nearly a month's worth of HS senior varisty games already, both girls and boys. I see the forearm in the back more often than not in the girl's games. It is usually accompanied by the defender's knee in the other girl's rear. I know we are suppose to call it, but our crews have been using the advantage/disadvantage to the offensive player in that if it prevents a move by the offensive player especially with the ball, a holding foul is called. So, yes I call it and call it more often than in years past. But it is not an automatic with me. We work exclusively 3 man crews in Arkansas and have for years, so we get to watch a lot more "off ball" contact than in 2 man and that type of call (holding by the defense)is made much easier as well as "off ball illegal screens" and "hooking" by the offensive player where they find the defensive player behind them and wrap (hook)a arm behind the defensive player.
