Ball Handler Pushoff

ok thanks. . There was very little contact but perhaps if their arms hit or light body contact there could be a block call. I'm thinking I might get a player who says "what am I supposed to do, crash into the defender?"

If the contact caused them to go OOB, call the block (assuming the defender was not in LGP). Otherwise, call the OOB. Sometimes the dribbler dribbles into a situation that they should have avoided. What they "should" have done was not even go there if the defender was cutting them off.

Take the out of bounds out of the equation. If there was enough contact that you would have called a foul in the middle of the floor, then call a foul here. If not, call the out of bounds.

Shooter jumps to shoot a jumper, defense swings at the ball and is about to hit the shooters arm, shooter does not shoot the ball and lands on the floor holding the ball to avoid getting hit by the defender. FOUL or travel? You might get a player who says "what am I supposed to do, let the defense hit my arm?"

Travel. Respond "yes" to the player.
