Five (5) Guarding plays to challenge your skills. How many guarding plays can you get right?

I wish more parents and coaches would watch these videos. At times I second guess my calls, but the more I watch your videos the more confident I am in knowing that I'm making the correct calls when I see them.

Glad our videos are helping to solidify your confidence. We too, wish more fans and coaches would watch our videos. Thanks for watching.

Patience whistle is the key instead of blowing more whistles…

[@OfficialsInstitute]

Well said.

The foul on play 2 is after the defender fell to his knees

[@OfficialsInstitute]

Possibly. The clip is specifically looking at the contact on the dribbler, however. Thanks for watching.

[@mattpreston4950]

One takeaway for me: look for LGP earlier. LIke play #5, I thought "ok, blocking foul, but play on". Same with play #1. So much to learn.

[@OfficialsInstitute]

Glad you enjoy these. Thanks for watching.

Hi Josh, Thanks again for the videos. Quick question, why would play #5 not be considered player control on the offense? Did he create contact on the defender, displacing him and granting himself an offensive advantage? Help me understand why its legal play. I definitely want to get these calls right. Thanks so much. - Heather

It could be player control, if you follow the rule exactly, but I think you would be better off having a no call on this as the the affect on the play was minimal. But....it is NOT a block.

[@GenXcollector]

Play 1, initially I'm not going to blow a 3 on none scoring opportunity dead on that foul. However, seeing that player potentially being injured I would consider it unnecessary & excessive for a flagrant.

[@OfficialsInstitute]

I don't think there was anything worthy of a flagrant foul on play #1, just a player going for a loose ball. But contact that deserves a foul none the less. Thanks for watching.

[@chrisarnold6267]

Plays #4 & #5 the calling officials were out of position to see through the play.

[@OfficialsInstitute]

thanks for your comment

[@coltonclark6121]

Can you please describe which foul these are?

[@OfficialsInstitute]

There was no foul to call on any of these but play #1. You can call a push or block.
