Leg kick

[rekent]

First, what Adam said below. But then if it has to be a call: Who encroached on whose legally acquired space?

[Adam]

Generally a no call for me.

Not sure it's quite that simple ...

More inclined to lean this way.

We are seeing this too in our neck of the woods. If the kick is severe enough to hurt player is it a personal foul or a player control foul?

He is an airborne shooter, right? That should answer your question.

A player control foul is a personal foul.

Once the ball is released, it cannot be a PC foul, no team or player control. Maybe that is what he is wondering.

Unless it is a foul by the airborne shooter.

On a try?

Not to pile on, but are you sure?

I should have added: And this would be both.

So on the follow-thru if a players hand and arms extend out past the vertical plane but a player runs by and hits his arm while he's airborne, this is a foul. But if it's the foot or leg, we just let it go?

The ole Reggie Miller move...

If contact is marginal, then go with a no call...if it isn't, then send it the other way.

The NBA actually made this a point of emphasis the year, I believe. They want more officials calling offensive fouls on players for creating contact with the leg kick on jump shots.

I have seen it called a few times.

In my HS school games I have not seen this much to the extent that a PC was warranted but I have seen a few flops with extending the leg and flopping to make it look like a foul on the defender.

Yes, contact on the jump shot is a POE this year...including the shooter creating contact by extending his leg. In fact, I believe the league has been trying to crack down on this the past couple of years, and I've definitely seen more no-call or offensive fouls call on these type of plays.
