Calling more handchecks came up in another thread, and it got me thinking that the handcheck is the hardest call for me to make.
What a handcheck is usually is fairly simple. I have a problem in determining when to call the foul. If B1 is handchecking A1, and A1 does not seem to be affected (although, according to the book, any handcheck gives an advantage) while backing down toward the basket, do you usually: (1) Call the foul while A1 is backing in? (2) Wait for the shot, and call a shooting foul? (3) See if the shot is affected, and then call a shooting foul? Thanks in advance for the help.

In my experience, once the shot starts, the handcheck usually stops as the defender reacts to the ball being picked up off the dribble and raises their hands to defend the shot. So you either have a handcheck on the floor before the shot, or you got nothing. If you wait for the shot to go, you got nothing in my book.

We've been calling the slightest contact handchecking. we've been calling it early and we've been calling it often. And we've eliminated a lot of it.
If a player is driving toward the basket and a hand goes on the hip, I call the foul when A1 begins his shooting motion. If A1 has his back to the basket, I call it as soon as I see it.

For number 3 it is my opinion that any ref that waits to see if a shot goes in before calling a foul in being dishonest to the spirit of the rules and to the game. Advantage/disadvantage is one thing but holding a call to see what happens is not right. |

in regards as when to call to handchecking. it is good to differentiate between east/west-north/spouth. meaning is the offensive player moving from sideline to sidleine or advancing the ball to the basket. if an offensive player is moving from sideline to sideline a forearm or measuring hand most likely does not affect the dribbler. when the offensive player goes to the basket that same forearm can impead the progress of the offense. what has been taught to me by better officials is to think speed/quickness/ability, if a handcheck affects any of these 3 it would be good to call a handcheck.
what bktballref said about calling handchecks tight was adopted by the NBA 2 yrs ago and the nc2a last year. they used the system and quickly dropped it. the reasoning for instituting it was because handchecks were going uncalled. the reason they dropped it was because it was taking judgement away from a play that was not affecting the game. they both went back to using the officials judgment and adopted the unwritten guidelines of speed/quickness/ability.

Handcheck
Nicely stated crew. An additional item to consider, is that same north/south handcheck, does it move the ballhandler off his intended or chosen path? If so, handcheck should be called. Outside of this, I like the rest of your comments and dedication at posting at 4:46AM. I had just gotten back from games out of town and was trying to catch up on these posts.

Sorry nc2a guys but handchecking is a NF POE this year. Our state deputy director is requiring us to call it. The result is that we've eliminated handchecking for the most part. Call it early, be consistent, and by the 2nd qaurter, you've cleaned it up if it was a problem.
Just goes to show once again, that what does or does not work in the NBA or NCAA has nothing to do with high school basketball.

I have a A1 outside top of key, A1 drives toward basket, B1 handcheck happens above FT line, A1 continues to basket for layup with a continuous handcheck the whole drive. Do you blow whistle when A1 starts to shoot and we have a shooting foul? Or are you saying you call handcheck only if A1 starts to shoot, but foul is "on the floor", and if A1 chooses to pass, we have no call? |

If he shoots, then I have a shooting foul. I'm not going to penalize A1 who has an open drive to the basket because a defender puts a hand on his hip. I wait until he starts his shooting motion, which is simply picking up the dribble and stepping to the basket. Then I get the shooting foul.

i wasnt trying state negativly about your post, though it seems that way. by all means if calling it tight cleans the game i would do it. i was trying to add to yuor info. some games an official has to become aggressive to control the game.

I think that's why it's also a POE for NFHS -- Mary seems to be moving the NCAA Women's and FED rules and mechanics closer. |

description of foul
When you are calling the type of foul that is being talked about in this thread, and you rule that it is to be a shooting foul, it is a good idea to make the foul a push instead of a hand-check.
The hand-check is impeding the dribbler, while a push caused s possible disadvantage on the shot. It is a matter of semantics, but it is a lot easier for coaches and spectators to understand that a hand check is called on the dribbler, while a push is a foul against the shooter. This is very similar to calling a "charge" against an offensive player who has passed the ball off and then crashed into the defensive player, with a foul being given to the offensive player. If you come out and call "CHARGE", the coaches NEVER understand why we are going to the other end and shooting a 1-and-1. They relate "charge" and "player control" to be the same foul. So if you call this foul a push, they do not have as big of a problem with the call. Granted, it is their problem, but a little preventative officiating (i.e., using terminology they understand) will make your game much smoother |
