Just like that
Two defenders on the player with the ball. She makes a break for the basket and trips over the foot of one of the defenders. I call a block. Defensive coach says, "How is that a block? You're telling me that if ball handler trips over someone's foot it's a block? How can you call that?"
A couple of plays later, my partner calls the same again on his player. I'm thinking, "Just like that, coach." He didn't say anything that time to my partner. Rita |

If the tripping defender was moving to get into a legal guarding position when the contact with the foot happened, you probably have a defensive foul. On the other hand, if the defender had obtained a LGP, you probably have nothing. |

4-27-1 (the mere fact that contact occurs does not constitute a foul) permits an official to ignore the very slight shoe-to-shoe contact IF the above two situations are true (LGP and dribbler squeezing between two defenders). The offensive player has already lost the ball. Did they really foul the opponent? Quite possibly not. On the other hand, if the defenders did NOT attain a LGP, the contact with the foot can be considered a trip and penalized as such. |
Based on the information I am reading, I have the same question as the coach. What did the defender do wrong?

1)Rule 4-45-1-<i>"Legal guarding position must be obtained initially and movement thereafter must be legal." 2) Rule 4-45-5- <i>"the offensive player <font color = red>whether on the floor</font> or airborne may NOT "clear out" or <font color = red>cause contact within the defender's vertical plane which is a foul.</font></i> 3) Rule 4-45-6-<i>"The defender may may not "belly up" or <font color = red>use the lower part of the body or arms to cause contact OUTSIDE his her vertical plane which is a foul</font>"</i> You only have 2 options if the defender has LGP and the dribbler trips over the foot of that defender...(1) a cheap player control foul, or (2) no call. |
Omg!!!!
They myth has come true. :D
