"The hand is considered part of the ball when the hand is in contact with the ball
 

"The hand is considered part of the ball when the hand is in contact with the ball. This includes holding,
dribbling, passing, or even during a shot attempt. Striking a ball handler or a shooter on that player's hand that is
incidental to an attempt to play the ball is not a foul, no matter how loud it sounds or how much it hurts."


Is it true that its not foul when somone holding the ball and im trying to steal the ball, and accidently slapping his hand?

Yes, it's true.

I never saw that.
 

in real games it always foul when touching....:cool:

Rule 4-24
 

ART. 2 . . . It is legal use of hands to reach to block or slap the ball controlled
by a dribbler or a player throwing for goal or a player holding it and accidentally
hitting the hand of the opponent when it is in contact with the ball.

If you never saw it what made you ask?

Not in my games.

Then apparently you don't work real games (according to Mendi).

There are a lot of nights that would lead me to believe this is true.

Any contact against your team is a foul. Any contact against the other team is "incidental." Just ask your coach.

My guess is that Mendi works under FEEBLE rules. Maybe they're different. I don't know and I really don't want to know. ;)

You obviously have not seen my games. ;)

Peace

They have metric hands?

Scenario
 

*Player A1 jump to shot hugging the ball with two hands. the ball is exposed from the top.

*Player B1 start to move his hand to slap the ball from the top.

*An instant before B1 slapping the ball A1 sliding one hand on the ball to protect the exposed direction.

*Result: A1 is yelling because player B1 slapped his hand.


Foul?

No foul. A1 needs to stop whining.

Lol.
 

There is no chance in street ball that they will not request foul on this.

thanks.

Well thankfully we're not playing streetball and players in real games can not "request" fouls.

You are not.
 

I am.

Why are you here then? We don't referee streetball. There are no referees in streetball. There are no set rules in streetball. Don't ask questions if you don't want correct answers.

mendi comes around occasionally to request rule clarifications for his pick-up games. Relax.

Although it is funny that he refers to "real games" when he's addressing pick-up ball.

I often have players and coaches make such "requests". ;)

I do, too. I try to oblige when I can, but they don't always like it when I do.

I've often wondered why the "your foul request is granted" signal uses the letter "T" instead of the more logical "G". Must be one of those historical artifact things. :shrug:

Learn something new everyday.
 

They play street ball in Israel?
