Forearm in the back.

[Ref42]

Mark,

Unfortunately this "forearm in the back" is really only a highschool "no no". At both the NCAA Men & Women levels this is accepted as legal guarding action, but now i'm only speaking for players in the post. Now for the men the player cannot "displace"(Keyword This Year)the oppnent with forearm, but can "rest" it. Then upon the post player receiving the ball the arm then has to come off immediately. For the women they have defined the forearm with even more situations, but i'm a men's official and don't know the specifics. So this is really no longer an "NBA Look", kids are seeing this all the time at the college level also on TV.
