off ball contact
I was watching 6th grade AAU practice last night and noticed the coach teaching his player to physically keep the offensive player out of the paint. Watching the defensive player you would have thought he was going against a football blocking dummy. He was pushing with forearms, shoulders, basically anything he could do to hold him out. How much contact do officials allow (if any) on the off ball contact? Surely this would not be allowed in a game.

Often the only experience a 6th grade AAU coach has in coaching comes from watching NBA games. The way you describe it none of this stuff is legal, he should concentrate on teaching them simple zones and rebound/fast breaks.

Excellent. I dont understand why he would coach that. I think I will ask him next time I see him. My son is in 5th grade AAU and share the same gym. How much hand checking do you allow? Just to the point of it affecting the players' ability to move "normally"?

You bring up very good points BNR. In watching my son go from Park & Rec to this league, you would think they were stepping into the championships... But I think you nailed it with what the coach believes he can get away with. They do not start their first game until March so I have not seen them officiated yet.... just the Rec league.

I don't catch as much off-ball contact as I should in the L position, because I'm trying to be aware of a perimeter player driving into the paint, where the defense is positioned, etc...but I definitely call what I see, whether it's kid's rec, men's wreck, AAU or HS.

Just put air in the whistle. I do not care what they actually teach.

Ha, Of course! I am glad to hear that everyone will call this. I do not want the kids to believe this is proper basketball form or conduct. If they learn to play by the rules, they will be better players.

In addition to officiating basketball, I coach soccer. In my practices, I often used tactics that would be illegal in order to teach certain things. For example, I have a drill where the player with the ball must stay as close to a cone as possible (and maintain control of the ball) while a defender is VERY aggressive in pushing the ball handler around with shoulder to shoulder contact and is trying to take the ball away from the dribbler. The purpose is not to teach the defender to push but to teach the offensive player how to shield the ball from the defender and maintain control of the ball in the presence of contact. I wanted them to experience more contact than they'd likely face in a game so that when they did face it they wouldn't need to depend on the ref to call the foul. I made the point that amount shoulder to shoulder contact we were practicing would most likely be called a foul by nearly all officials.
