How do you call this?

The options are either a no-call or a foul on the player doing the charging, depending on whether the contact was illegal or incidental.

The good thing is that after it happened last night, I did call it correctly based on your interpertation. I just needed someone to to put it into perspective and help me differentiate between LGP and legal spot.

Thanks!

ranjo,
Do you have the Simplified & Illustrated book? My most recent copy is from 2005-06. Your play is depicted on page 27. The shooter is crashing into the back of a defender who is facing the basket and not the player with the ball. Here is the caption:

4-19-6 Number 5 has legal position on the court before No. 4 becomes airborne. The foul is on No. 4, the goal does not count if it is made because it is a player-control foul. A player-control foul causes the ball to become dead immediately. Number 4 is an airborne shooter after releasing the ball on a try until he returns to the floor.

Just remember that LGP's only purpose is to allow the defense to be moving/jumping at the time of contact and still be able to draw a charge. If the player is not moving/jumping, they don't need LGP.

I don't own the book nor have I ever had the oportunity to look at one, but I take it you would highly recomend it? I'm all for Simple & Illustrated!

I recommend the comic book, as we so affectionately call it, to all new officials for the first couple of years.

Would you apply the same rules interp for a sit where A1 and B1 fighting for rebound. B1 goes to the floor. A1 secures the ball and then subsequently falls over B1...travel or foul?

I like the parts where Billy's dad reads all the businesses as the car drives.

"Toy-yo-ta. Barber shop. Gino's Pizza. ................." Yup, good flick.

Is Billy Crystal really 5'6", becuase that's how tall Spud Webb is, isn't he?
