It's also a foul if a vertical defender brings his arms down in front of him and the shooter jumps and contacts the defender's arms. Defenders are entitled to the verticle space within their body width. |
It's the "cylinder of verticality" ;)

Can't really see well from this angle, but it seems that B42 leans into shooter's path and tries to close off the opening.

Bravo ...

42 looks like he leans and sticks out his knee/leg. Block.

And regarding the push from behind that others have mentioned. I have nothing on that. Yes, it happened, but it was just a split second before the collision and had no effect on the play. The dribbler/driver was going to crash into the other two defenders with or without that extra nudge and that is the play to judge. |
I also believe that 42's knee was outside his cylinder.
I do see the push that was mentioned by multiple previous posters. I wouldn't be surprised if that one is missed or even not called because it's effect was immaterial and minor in comparison to the knee-to-knee contact. I'm leaning to the block rather than the PC. I don't think a no-call here is correct. |

Rule: 4-7-2 c. There must be reasonable space between two defensive players or a defensive player and a boundary line to allow the dribbler to continue in his/her path. If there is less than 3 feet of space, the dribbler has the greater responsibility for the contact. This seems like the poster play for this rule, unless you call the push first. |
