on the rebounding there is a lot of contact true, but does that contact displace and result in an advantage for the player initiatiing the contact. A lot of what you see is a big player just out jumping another big player for the ball. As long as the player on the outside doesn't initiate the contact and displace the inside player to get the ball. it is just inadvertant contact. It doesn't mean anything as long as everyone is going straight up and we have no advantage it is all good. here is a question for you If an offensive player jumps forward toward the basket to take a jump shot and the defender is between him and the basket jumps forward to defend against the shot and their is minimal torso and hip contact (with no contact above the shoulders) as the offensive player makes the jump shot who is the foul on? |

This exact scenario (offensive post backing down a defender toward the basket) has bothered me during the last few weeks of the NCAA tourney....It has begun to drive me crazy when a defender is called for a foul by body bumping, using an arm bar, or putting two hands on the offensive post player after he receives the ball and the offensive post player is allowed to back down the defender into the lane. Case in point - Florida 54 Butler 54 3:21 (2nd half)...Horford catches ball in post; 1st power dribble/bump (nothing); 2nd power dribble/bump (should have been PC); 3rd power dribble/bump/shot (defender realizes no call coming - tries flop and reaches on shot - foul and 1 FT).
IMHO, if your gonna call the defensive foul - THEN YOU HAVE TO CALL A PC ON THE OFFENSIVE POST PLAYER FOR DISPLACEMENT! It gives an unfair advantage to call one without the other... I believe we will see a POE next year from Hank Nichols and the NCAA regarding displacement by a post player with the ball. |

3rd power dribble/bump/shot defender tries flop and reaches on shot - foul and 1 FT There whould be a lot more PC fouls - if the defender established LGP first and most defenders do not do that - while the are bumping and grinding for position they are all up in the offensive players back and leaning on them when they recieve the pass, then they do not establish LGP so they earn that PC foul. |

When contact is initiated that creates an advantage, it MUST be called a foul. Traditionally, the "hand-checks", illegal screens, block/charge-type plays are called rather easily. The contact that occurs in the post (both before and after the ball is entered) has not been called in the same manner as other types of contact - probably because it IS more difficult to officiate. The most recent POE regarding contact in the post has primarily dealt with defensive players restricting an offensive players' movement. I predict that the next POE regarding post play contact will call for enforcement of an offensive player displacing the defender during a power dribble/move to the basket. |

To answer you question, I believe we have a personal foul on the defender IF the contact disrupted the shot because he moved toward the shooter. You stated “minimal torso and hip contact (with no contact above the shoulders)”. So I would think that no disadvantage was gained, therefore a no-call. IMO.

I will not disagree that this "could" be a foul but now we are into another area of officiating that the public (and some officials) are not aware of. The patient whistle - seeing the whole play, then put air in your whistle.
A2 and B2 are jostling for rebounding posistion on the bench side of the basket where the shot came from B2 pushes a little harder on A2 and gets a slightly better postion for the rebound - but the ball hits the rim and goes long to the opposite side of the basket ? Do you call a foul? Same scenario - except this time B2 backs A2 out about 10ft from where he was when the shot was taken and the ball clanks on the rim and comes right to B2? Do you call a foul? last weekend while doing an AAU game training a younger official we had this play: A1's Shot goes up from three point area Free throw line extended on the strong side (three man crew so you have lead and trail on this side of the floor) the young guy is the C on the other side. A3 and B3 are jostling on the weak side B3 goes up and forward clearly displacing A3 whistle blows as the ball bounds over the top of the backboard and out of play. Was there a foul ? do you put a whistle on it? Now you are reading and considering these plays as they unfold in front of you on the screen, add several other players in your primary area of coverage and full speed. then you make the call. |

Correct even though there was contact, the contact did not constitute a foul. "Basketball is a contact sport - all contact is not a foul - all fouls involve contact, it the job of the official to determine which is which." Carroll Cosby |

With regard to the OP, I think the answer is that the defender is usually giving ground. I don't understand why they do that. But it seems clear that unless the defender holds his ground, there isn't gonna be a call. It's gotta be a pretty clear shove or arm. |
