Block/Player Control Ruling in High School BBall

[deecee]

This verbiage was put in for a simple reason, most notably to clear up block/charge situations between the ball handler and primary defender where both parties are moving.

If both parties are moving and there is a block/charge situation was the ball handler's head and shoulders past his defender. If that's the case then the contact is on the defender for moving INTO the offensive player's position.

In your case the defender DID NOT move into the offensive player's position and was not moving at all. He obtained his legal position on the floor and stood there. Offensive player left the ground. Who cares. Contact is on the offensive player.

This is no different than say a defender just standing there and his man beats him and then decides to just jump backwards at him with the ball. Would you call this on the offensive player or the defensive one?

Like I stated earlier, you are complicating this.
