Blocking is illegal personal contact that impedes the progress of an opponent with or without the ball. RULE 4 - SECTION 24 HANDS AND ARMS, LEGAL AND ILLEGAL USE ART. 1 . . . It is legal to extend the arms vertically above the shoulders and need not be lowered to avoid contact with an opponent when the action of the opponent causes contact. This legal use of the arms and hands usually occurs when guarding the player making a throw-in, the player with the ball in pressing tactics and a player with the ball who is maneuvering to try for goal by pivoting, jumping, etc. ART. 2 . . . It is legal use of hands to reach to block or slap the ball controlled by a dribbler or a player throwing for goal or a player holding it and accidentally hitting the hand of the opponent when it is in contact with the ball. ART. 3 . . . It is legal to hold the hands and arms in front of the face or body for protection and to absorb force from an imminent charge by an opponent. This same protective use of the arms and hands occurs when a player who has set a screen outside the opponent’s visual field is about to be run into by the player being screened. The action, however, should be a recoil action rather than a pushing action. ART. 4 . . . It is not legal to use hands and arms or hips and shoulders to force his/her way through a screen or to hold the screener and then to push him/her aside in order to maintain a guarding position relative to his/her – opponent. ART. 5 . . . It is not legal to use hands on an opponent which in any way inhibits the freedom of movement of the opponent or acts as an aid to a player in starting or stopping. ART. 6 . . . It is not legal to extend the arms fully or partially in a position other than vertical so that the freedom of movement of an opponent is hindered when contact with the arms occurs. The extension of the elbows when the hands are on the hips or when the hands are held near the chest or when the arms are held more or less horizontally are examples of the illegal positions used. ART. 7 . . . It is not legal to use the hand and/or forearm to prevent an – opponent from attacking the ball during a dribble or when throwing for goal. ART. 8 . . . It is not legal to swing arms and elbows excessively. This occurs when: a. Arms and elbows are swung about while using the shoulders as pivots, and the speed of the extended arms and elbows is in excess of the rest of the body as it rotates on the hips or on the pivot foot. b. The aggressiveness with which the arms and elbows are swung could cause injury to another player if contacted. Using this description as a basis, an official will promptly and unhesitatingly rule such action with arms and elbows a violation. ART. 9 . . . It is not legal to lock arms or grasp a teammate(s) in an effort to restrict the movement of an opponent.

If you have ever been to a game, you’ve heard it. Two players jump for a rebound and the player from behind gets the ball. “Over the back!” You’ve heard it from coaches. You’ll hear from other fans. We all hear it when we watch a game on TV. But the truth is, it doesn’t exist. There’s no such thing as “Over the back.” https://www.comeonrefs.com/ RULE 4 - SECTION 45 VERTICALITY Verticality applies to a legal position.

The hands and arms of the defender may be raised within his/her vertical plane while on the floor or in the air. ART. 4 . . . The defender should not be penalized for leaving the floor – vertically or having his/her hands and arms extended within his/her vertical plane. ART. 5 . . .

The defender may not “belly up” or use the lower part of the body or arms to cause contact outside his/her vertical plane, which is a foul. ART. 7 . . . The player with the ball is to be given no more protection or consideration than the defender in judging which player has violated the rules.

A player control foul, also referred to as a “charge,” occurs when the offensive player initiates major contact with the defensive player once the defender has established legal guarding position. As a result of the foul, the offensive team loses possession and the offending player is charged with a personal foul. No free throws are awarded to the defensive team, even if they are already in the bonus. The rules state that a defensive player is in a legal guarding position if he has both feet planted down and is facing the offensive player. However, it is possible for the defensive player to be moving and still draw the player control foul. For example, if the defensive player is moving laterally or even backward before the offensive player is airborne and takes contact to the chest or torso, the defensive player is often given the benefit of the doubt. However, contact between the legs, shoulders, and arms usually indicates the offensive player has gotten past the defender, putting the burden back on the defense. Additionally, if the defensive player jumps straight up prior to the offensive player leaving the floor and contact ensues, this is a player control foul by rule, though it is not uncommon for officiating crews to side mistakenly with the offensive player, by way of a “no-call” or issuing a blocking foul. It is an acceptable mechanic to signal all team control and player control fouls using the stop clock for foul signal, followed by the “punch” signal. It is optional to use the arm behind the head to signal a player control foul, but is not optional when signally the type of foul to the bench.
