You Decide - Off White? (video)

[Rich]

It's very rare I report a "hand check." If I can put it in any other bucket, I will.

If there's a foul here, it's 22 holding her with the left hand/arm.

And I'm calling it a hold, because the defender has her arm around the front of the dribbler restricting her movement. Would you call it a 'push'? 'hands'?

After missing such a blatant travel that gave the offensive player an unfair advantage I'm not calling anything there but I'm giving a handcheck or push signal for that type of contact.

Why is that exactly?

I don't like to start calling handchecks late in games so if they havent been called earlier then I'm putting it in another bucket.

But I wouldnt say I call them very rarely or actively look to report something else when it's clear that's what it is.

I thought we had to choose between "white", "pearl", or some "off-white" color.
