pee washy - CONDUCT OF COACHES

 

players’ bench or officially connected with the team shall be considered a
coach under Sections 7 and 8.

PENALTY— (Sections 7, 8.)

It shall be obligatory for the Officials to call a technical foul and
charge it against the captain of the offending team for infraction of
these sections. If the offense is repeated, the Officials shall order the
offender from the vicinity of the court, and may forfeit the game to the
opponents if the order is not obeyed.

C. Personal Foul

(A detailed statement is given on following pages explaining at greater
length some of these fouls.)

A Player Shall Not—

SECTION 9. Hold, trip, charge or push an opponent, whether or
not either player has possession of the ball. If a
dribbler charges into an opponent, or makes per-
sonal contact. with an opponent, without an apparent effort to
avoid such contact, a personal foul shall be called on the dribbler.
If, despite the dribbler’s efforts to avoid contact, personal contact
ensues, either player, or both, may be guilty; but the greater re-
sponsibility is on the dribbler if he tries to dribble by an opponent
who is in his path. See Comments on the Rules, pages 34 and 35.

NOTE—If, in blocking a shot or pass, or in securing the ball from an
opponent, a player strikes the ball and at the same time touches the
opponents’ hand with that part of the hand below the wrist joint, no
other contact taking place, the contact shall not be considered a foul but
merely incidental to a successful attempt to play the ball.

Ques.—A player is dribbling and an opponent runs in at right
angles to the direction the dribbler is going and bats the ball
out of his hands, and while so doing personal contact results; has
a foul been committed, and on which one? Ans.—A foul for
personal contact has been committed; it may have been the
fault of either; the Official who decides must see the play to
make decision. As a general rule, the responsibility for the foul
will rest upon the dribbler if the guard approaches him from the
front, while the reverse will be true if the guard approaches
him from behind; while if the approach is from the side, either
player may be responsible.

Ques.— What is hacking? Ans.—Hacking is a term which is
not used in the rules but which is used by some officials to denote
a form of holding or striking the arms of an opponent with
the edge of the hand, or with the hand. It is a personal foul.

Ques.—A player is fouled almost simultaneously by each of two
opponents. The Referee calls one foul and the Umpire calls
the other. Which decision takes precedence? Ans.—Neither.
Two distinct fouls were committed and each should be penalized.

SECTION 10. Block an opponent.
SECTION 11. Use unnecessary roughness.

SECTION 12. Interfere in any way with his opponent when the
ball is tossed up between them.
