Appendix III / Officiating Guidelines<br />

1. The offensive or defensive player uses her body to “back out” or push<br />

an opponent from her legally established position. A player may not be<br />

pushed farther away from the basket.<br />

2. A player is held to prevent her from getting closer to the basket.<br />

3. The arm(s) of the opponent are “hooked” so she is unable to extend her<br />

arms to get the ball.<br />

4. A player behind an established opponent uses her hands, arms, body or<br />

legs to displace in any way.<br />

5. An airborne rebounder is undercut and displaced; taking away her landing<br />

space.<br />

Section 4. (Men) Post Play<br />

Some guidelines to officials in making correct, consistent calls in low-post<br />

play:<br />

a. Observe the entire play, especially when responsible for off-ball coverage.<br />

b. Anticipate the play but not the call when post players are in fronting situations.<br />

c. A defensive player pushing a leg or knee into the rear of the offensive player<br />

shall be a personal foul on the defender.<br />

d. An offensive player dislodging a defensive player from an established<br />

position by pushing or backing in shall be a personal foul on the offensive<br />

player.<br />

e. A player using the “swim stroke” arm movement to lower the arm of an<br />

opponent shall be charged with a personal foul.<br />

f. Post players using hands, forearms or elbows to prevent an opponent from<br />

maintaining a legal position shall be charged with a personal foul.<br />

g. A defensive post player may use a forearm on the back of an offensive post<br />

player who does not have the ball as long as equal pressure is being applied<br />

and there is no dislodging by either player. When the offensive player gains<br />

possession of the ball, the defensive post player must remove hands and<br />

forearms from the offensive player or a personal foul shall be charged.<br />

Section 5. (Men) Hand-Checking (Impeding the Progress of a<br />

Player)<br />

To curtail hand-checking, officials must address it at the beginning of the game,<br />

and related personal fouls must be called consistently throughout the game. Some<br />

guidelines for officials to use when officiating hand-checking:<br />

a. When a defensive player keeps a hand or forearm on an opponent, it is a<br />

personal foul.<br />

b. When a defensive player puts two hands on an opponent, it is a personal foul.<br />

c. When a defensive player continually jabs by extending his arm(s) and placing<br />

a hand or forearm on the opponent, it is a personal foul.<br />

d. When a defensive player uses an arm bar to impede the progress of a dribbler,<br />

it is a personal foul.
