Session 3 Tuesday, November 13, 2018 TRU Science Room S373 19:00-21:00 Rules 6-8

Rule 6 - Fouls A foul is an infraction of the rules concerning illegal personal contact with an opponent and/or unsportsmanlike behaviour Personal Fouls involve player contact with an opponent (live or dead ball) Technical Fouls are non-contact infractions of a behavioural nature

Rule 6 - Fouls Cylinder Principle: Defined as the space within an imaginary cylinder occupied by a player on the floor Extends from floor to ceiling and is limited by the front by the palms of the hands, the rear by the buttocks, and the sides by the outer edge of the arms and legs The hands and arms may be extended in front of the torso no further than the position of the feet, with the arms bent at the elbows so that the forearms and hands are raised

Rule 6 - Fouls Cylinder Principle

Rule 6 - Fouls Principle of Verticality: During the game, each player has the right to occupy any position (cylinder) on the playing court not already occupied by an opponent As soon as the player leaves his vertical position (cylinder) and body contact occurs with an opponent who had already established his own vertical position (cylinder), the player who left his vertical position (cylinder) is responsible for the contact

Rule 6 - Fouls Legal Guarding Position: A defensive player has established an initial legal guarding position when he is facing his opponent and has both feet on the floor The legal guarding position extends vertically above him (cylinder) from the floor to the ceiling He may raise his arms and hands above his head or jump vertically but he must maintain them in a vertical position inside the imaginary cylinder

Rule 6 - Fouls Guarding a Player who Controls the Ball: The elements of time and distance do not apply, as the player with the ball must expect to be guarded and be prepared to stop or change direction when an opponent takes an initial legal guarding position in front of him The defensive player must establish an initial legal guarding position without causing contact

Rule 6 - Fouls Guarding a Player who Controls the Ball (Cont.): The defensive player may not extend his body out of his cylinder to impede the movement of the dribbler, but may turn within it to avoid injury When judging a charge/block situation involving a player with the ball, contact must occur on the torso, in which case the defensive player would be considered as having been at the place of contact first

Rule 6 - Fouls Guarding a Player who Does Not Control the Ball: The elements of time and distance shall apply A defensive player cannot take a position so near and/or so quickly in the path of a moving opponent that the latter does not have sufficient time or distance either to stop or change his direction Distance is proportional to the speed of the opponent, but never less than 1 normal step

Rule 6 - Fouls A Player Who is in the Air: Airborne players may land in the space from which they jumped, as well as any place (and the direct path to it) which was unoccupied at the time of take off If, after landing, a player’s momentum causes him to contact an opponent who has established a legal guarding position beyond the landing space, the jumper is responsible for the contact Moving under an airborne player and causing contact is usually an unsportsmanlike foul

Rule 6 - Fouls Screening: Legal and Illegal: An attempt to delay or prevent an opponent without the ball from reaching a desired position Legal: the screener was stationary (inside his cylinder) and had both feet on the floor when contact occurred Illegal: the screener was moving, did not give sufficient distance (outside the field of vision of a stationary opponent), or did not respect the elements of time and distance of a moving opponent when contact occurred

Rule 6 - Fouls Charging: Illegal personal contact, with or without the ball, by pushing or moving into an opponent’s torso Blocking: Illegal personal contact which impedes the progress of an opponent with or without the ball

Rule 6 - Fouls No-Charge Semi-Circle Areas: On any penetration play into the no-charge semi-circle area, any contact caused by an airborne offensive player with a defensive player inside the no-charge semi-circle area shall not be called an offensive foul Applies when the offensive player is in control of the ball whilst airborne, he attempts a shot for a field goal or passes, and the defensive player has one or both feet in contact with the no-charge semi-circle area (lines included)

Rule 6 - Fouls Contacting an Opponent with the Hand(s) and/or Arm(s): Touching an opponent is not necessarily a foul (advantage = restricts freedom of movement, such as remaining in contact to impede progress) Repeatedly touching or jabbing is a foul “Hooking”, pushing off to create space or get free, etc. are fouls

Rule 6 - Fouls Post Play: The principle of verticality (cylinder) applies here too It is a foul to shoulder or hip one’s opponent out of position, or to interfere with their freedom of movement using extended arms, shoulders, hips, legs, etc. Illegal Guarding From the Rear Holding Pushing Fake a Foul

Rule 6 - Fouls Personal Foul: A player’s illegal contact with an opponent, whether the ball is live or dead A player shall not hold, block, push, charge, trip or impede the progress of an opponent by extending his hand, arm, elbow, shoulder, hip, leg, knee or foot, nor by bending his body into an ‘abnormal’ position (outside his cylinder), nor shall he indulge in any rough or violent play
