1. When 2 players are jockeying for postion what do you look for to determine a foul or not.

I am looking for the intensity of what is going on. Leaning verses pushing. A controling hand. Any grab is automatic. Any Displacement is automatic. Read up on the POE. That will tell you what you need to call. I want to talk to the players if the contact does not create any advantage. If it does create an advantage, I will whistle it immediatly.

2. What about boxing out for a rebound. I believe on boxing out if a player gets displaced then its a foul. What are your thoughts. [/B]

I am usually loking at displacement. Did the player behind push the one in front under the basket? Did the player in front move the one behind to the free throw line? "I was only boxing out, coach."
