What if a defender never established LGP and attempts to guard a dribbler

If the defender clearly hasn't initiated the contact and isn't trying to impede the RSBQ, then its a no call for me.


As an aside, this happened twice, on successive possessions in a double OT jv game last year, the coach went nuts both times. After the game, the varsity guys who had came out to watch the overtimes said I had a great couple of no calls on those plays. Very confusing, though.

So you are saying it is okay for the A1 to push B1 off a spot on the court that he has a legal right to be occupying?
