Post pushing (video)

TC for me. Hook and displacement by the offensive player started the ball rolling.

First foul on defense is at about 13 sec. No way is this double, and no way is it on the offense.

I understand where someone can see a hold at the :13 sec mark but I am not sure how you can call a foul here when the offense is backing the defense down. Sure we can all see the right hand around the offense, but thats a tough call to make.

The next series is where I believe the real call needs to happen.

That's too late, IMO.

Right hand around the waist, left arm over the shoulder, and defender pulls the offensive player backward. That's the one that needs to be gotten. None of the rest of that garbage happens then.

I have that on the defense. Holding several times.

[Blindolbat]

My question is what took the lead so long to make the call? It seems like the trail whose primary responsibility was ball here actually made the call.

[twocentsworth]

at least they called 1 of the 3 fouls that I saw......

I've got a foul on the post defender at 13/14 seconds. You call that nothing else happens. Get the first one.

Who is displacing who? The offense is continually pushing the defender where ever he wants to and early on has him wrapped up.

If the defensive player was pushing/displacing that offensive player like that it would be called a foul instantly by most. But for some reason the offensive player is basically displacing the defender all over the floor and nothing is called.

My opinion, get that hook and displacement by the offense early in the play.

Missed my point - right hand around the waist? Was that because the defender was backing into him? There is no way on the video to tell if that is where contact happened by the defender. Left arm over the shoulder? When the player moves from the offensive players right side to the left side, the defensive player reaches over the top of the offensive players left arm, this is not illegal. What's illegal is when the offensive player starts to reach to hold the defensive player and the defensive player than grabs and the pulls the offensive player.

I think the problem is that every official is always told "get the first foul, get the first foul" so now you are looking at trying to find that first foul at the earliest point. If each player had backed away after the 13 second mark, we would all say, "I am not calling that one" but since you obviously have something later on, you're trying to back up and find the first one.

Team control foul on the offensive post player. Never understand why we allow the offensive player to get away with murder and we penalize the defender when it gets rough.

I have to agree. We have to know who is initiating contact. When the defender switches to guard the post player, the offense creates contact by backing the defense into the lane. The defense tries to resist and is able to hold their position. The defender then tries to re-position to the high side and the offense again displaces the defender up to the FT line. The defender then tries to establish position on the low side and is displaced again. The defender is forced to hold as a result of displacement in the last two situations.

On this play, know who is initiating contact.

The L needed to be on this side of the floor to see this play.

Uh, this post is kind of a cop out isn't it?

Yes except this first foul was an obvious grab of the waist to re-align the offensive player. It all goes down hill from there.

If the offensive player was the first to commit a foul I agree but this starts with the defense grabbing the offensive player.
