Gaining control with your feet
I had a crazy situation in a High school Fall league game that made me scratch my head. Any help or interpretation is appreciated.
Point Guard makes it into the frontcourt and dribbles around the three-point arc. He loses control of the ball, falls to the ground, and there is a scrum to get it. The ball is loose at his feet so he grabs it with his feet. Brings the ball up to his chest, grabs it, makes a pass to his teammate from the floor. Is this legal? How would you call this situtation? Is there any rationale in the Fed. rules that would describe this situation? Peace, |

This would be an illegal kick. A player cannot use their legs to control the ball.
Peace

so what about this then?
I know this specific and minute, but what if a player uses both his hand and a leg to gain possession and brings it up to his off hand. By these definitions it's a kicking violation.
According to NFHS a kicking violation is an "intentional strike" at the ball. This seems in no way to be an intentional strike. It's a bit hard to call a kick when he doesn't kick it at all. He's just trying to regain possession. Nit picky, I know, but it's always these weird situations that cause me to question. |

Hows this for interesting. I had a young man receiving a rolling ball near the end of the game. You know how they will sometimes inbound the ball along the floor and don't touch it till near half to keep the clock from starting. Anyway instead of bending over to pick up the ball he sticks his foot out and lets the ball roll up his leg into his hands, I call the violation and he stands there like a deer in headlights. Coach just put his hands on top of his head and started shaking it back and forth. No explanation necessary!

I'm not sure I would've called it before this, but only because my thinking was like yours - it wasn't a defensive manuever. Now I'll be more aware of it. This is, btw, one of the reasons NCAA-W went away from putting the ball down at the spot of a throw-in during a TO - officials were doing things like this to pick up the ball, rather than just bending down and picking it up with their hands. The committee felt flicking the ball up with the foot didn't look "professional".

I wonder how many of them busted their bums tripping on the ball while attempting this manuver? |
