Is it still a chop block if the offensive player in contact with the defender below the waist and an additional offensive player makes contact the second time above the waist? I know it is if it is upper body first than lower.

Chop block is a delayed block at the knees or below against an opponent who is in contact with a teammate of the blocker in the free blocking zone. I would say no. |
No foul.

It is legal to contact an opponent above the waist even if such opponent has a teammate of yours engaging such opponent below the waist. A chop block is a chop block and should ALWAYS be called. (Yes, even regardless of advantage/disadvantage) But it is not a foul if it happens in reverse as you described. [Edited by KWH on Oct 29th, 2002 at 04:54 PM] |
Depends on the Rulebook
In NCAA rules some blocks that are low-high are indeed chop blocks and are illegal.

Thanks guys, we were watching our game from a couple of Friday nights ago and were split on the ruling.
