I think I am stuck because I'd like B1 to play the ball instead of the player's body for the loose ball in this case. Thanks to all who responded. I am all set with this one. Have a good weekend! ysong |

Guess you have to see it. You're right, if the contact is preventing A1 from getting past, then it's a foul.

Glad I am not alone wanting to call it a foul. But what is the rule basis for calling it illegal? (Like I said, I failed to find any support from the rulebook.) Thanks. |

And if it prevents A1 from getting the ball. That said, all the benefit goes to team B (by officiating standard). |

Then what is the difference between this play and the defense boxing out the offense? Thanks. |
careful about this call
Girls AAU game yesterday. Pretty standard situation basically what the op is about. Shot goes up and is an air ball, a1 boxing b1 as ball bounces inbounds and is heading out of bounds. b1 tries to go around a1 and a1 stays with box out. ref calls holding foul on a1 doing the box out. a1's coach goes ballistic gets 1 T then keeps up his yelling and gets T number 2 and gets tossed. Fans are now all mad and giving the ref hard time. Ref explains to fans that player a1 had arms behind and was holding. Fans and coach(before he was tossed) who do not know rules say 'that's how we coach them to box out!!'.
Long story but my point is.... Ref probably made correct call. Definitely made correct decisions after whistle with T's. But... If he does not blow whistle nobody on either team will be upset. This play happens all the time and is normally not called. Probably a lot easier to let it go and move on with the game. But of course that is why we get paid the big buck$!!! |

It sounds like the ref called it because the arms were involved. Are you implying that if no arms, no twisting or bending body involved, the ref would not have called it a foul? In other words, do you believe a *defense* player is entiled by the rules to move with the opponent while keeps body contact and blocks the opponent's path? Thanks! |

Also, I assume you believe "illegal screen" applys equally to both defense side and offense side, correct? (somehow I thought it only applied to offense side.) Then, it seems very hard for a defense player to *keep* boxing out an opponent without committing a foul. Thanks. |
