If an offensive player is dribbling pass a defender and the defender's foot makes contact with the ball forcing it in the opposite direction the dribbler, is it a steal or kickball?

I am a new official this year, this was very helpful!

Body mechanics. #15 got hit on his right shoulder and his body spun to the right. He is allowed to brace himself for contact (leaning in). I would say charge. Granted not directly into defense's torso, but enough contact occurred to spin the defender.

No

Learned a lot

Love the channel, especially as a new referee! Just one ask, can yall please start giving your definitive call and result either in the video or a pinned comment. That would be amazing for new referees like myself. “We at Official Institute call this a X foul” hand motion? Ball? Anything else that would be helpful!

I don’t like the word “box”. I use area. Box sounds like you are taking to a child or pet.

Offensive foul and going the other way.

Fan of the flopping rule, but implementation is going to be incredibly messy, which is going to cause issues and a ton of issues.

I see so many times that nothing is called when the defender has position, the offensive player initiates contact and the defender refuses to fall or fall without taking a step backward. Do you have a video that might go over those situations? I see bigger defenders getting beat up (run into, bounced off of, etc) and because they don't go down or it is a small offensive player initiating contact, it is ruled a "no call". At times this happens over and over until the defenders get frustrated and finally lash out. I would appreciate your comment on this?

Really enjoy these videos. Only thing that would be better is if you were able to put a camera on each ref to more accurately present what is actually seen.

Appreciate the time you take to gather these videos. It is so helpful to see these plays in action for newer officials and as a refresher for others. Thanks again.

While there’s a lot here, the little foot drag could also be a travel. I’m not saying you could get that in real time, but offense does travel

Screener moved outside his upright position to deliver a blow. Illegal.

How can you say he was in a legal guarding position, that by rule it was a charge and then question flopping? If it is a flop, it can't be a charge. Flopping is faking, not exaggerating

Could you explain why Play 1 is a travel?

Missed a travel call at 5:06. Watch from 5:00 to 5:10 at 0.25 speed and notice he is still touching the ball when his right pivot foot is lifted.

Absolutely

That's a block, right? Almost seems like they need to create a leg check foul for those.

1.❌ 2.✅ 3.✅ 4.✅ 5.✅

Please, i have a question. Is it allowed for a player to jump when he is making a free shot?

How number 1 is legal? If a player is standing with one foot at backcourt and the other at the frontcourt the ball also on the side frontcourt then he gave a pass to a player at the backcourt so it is legal like that?

EXCELLENT

I believe play 5 should be an illegal dribble, no travel.

The end of Play #3 looks like a backcourt violation. He stops sliding while laying on the division line and then passes the ball to his teammate in the backcourt.

How did you highlight the court?

Looks like it is

it must be offensive foul as plane is break prior to push

I know this is older video, so not sure if you’ll see this? This is a great video. Thank you. You seem to do a good job. That being said there is one rule/interpretation that I believe you may have wrong. I just wanted to get your thoughts. 35:30 mark you said it’s a travel to jump and land on one foot. I don’t believe that is a travel at all. A jump and a step aren’t mutually exclusive. At end of day whether you are walking, running, hopping, skipping, or jumping. Putting a foot to the floor is a step. I don’t get why a player can run and step but not jump and step. The rules don’t specify the verb in any way. The rule about jump stop says a player “may” land on both feet. It doesn’t say “must”. So it doesn’t rule out landing on one. Landing on one should be legal as covered in rules 4.44.2.a.2 and 4.44.2.b.1. The rule allowing a jump stop is not an exception to jumping and landing. It’s an exception to returning the would be pivot foot to the floor. It’s a unique situation that requires its own rule due player being limited from pivoting. Rule 4.44.3.b does say if a player jumps he/she cannot return either foot to the floor. However, that language is clearly preceded by the language “After coming to a stop and establishing a pivot foot”. So ultimately I believe if a player jumps while they are moving they are able to land on one foot by rule as long as they aren’t bringing the pivot foot to the floor and are following the legal left/right or right/left cadence.

At 51:30 (play in the paint), couldn't we make the case to call a defensive foul to protect an airborne shooter? Even though the shooter came down clean, the defender definitely created contact and came into the shooter's landing area. If we move that shot out beyond the 3point line and watch the shooter go up, release, and come down, I think most officials would call it a foul.

Ya know what, these calls are going to help low level officials better. They are going to have to ref the defense, follow the defense after ther shot, and stay in primary to make these calls. And they're going to want to make these calls.

So you are saying at 7:45 him and his teammates should not get in contact with the ball at the same time?

Thank you. This was very helpful!

If on offense, Tweet, give signal, report offensive team color, if first offense then have warning added to book,…. and then check possession arrow? Or back to offensive team?

That was great stuff…Thank You✌🏽🏀

Wher is the zero step?

I got a player offensive foul

I think 90% of block/charges are charges.

Got it! 👍🏽

On the play at the 45 minute mark, what happens if the shot goes in as the flop is called on the shooter? Does the basket stand or is it taken off? Thanks.

Is it a technical foul per pregame dunk or one technical foul for the team because of dunking?

GREAT SERIES!!! Keep up the great work to improve officials everywhere.

Can you catch a pass with both hands then begin to dribble?

If offense flops, we kill it, but you go to the possession arrow, unless it’s on a shot and it goes in, count the basket , then defense gets a non designated spot throw in

Does an offensive flop on a shot cause an immediate dead ball that nullifies the shot or is it dead ball after the shot is made or missed.

If it is to get “the big ones” and the defender didn’t take the flop to the floor so not a flop, is a head bob on a dribbler in previous clip not a flop. He didn’t take it to stopping his dribble

The facebook play at halfcourt is a block,,,can't be a player control as it was not torso to torso and the offensive player got his head and shoulder past the defender so the defender has to let him go. Block since there is contact.

We have a player on the floor on Play #1 PCF.

Flop play #1... This is bad advice. You do NOT call a block that is not a block. If you think a player has LGP, a block is not an option. If it is a flop, call it as such. That said, I think it was a block...the player started with LGP but extended his shoulder outside of his position, negating LGP, making it a block. Call it right...don't make stuff up.

No way can a player extend boths hands to create space. Plus the offender kick out his leg to create contact
