Not all contact needs a whistle even if everyone else thinks so. Let's discuss Incidental Contact.

[@sparx2565]

From the explanation of your final ruling, if a screen is set initially outside of my field of vision I can simply plow through them with no foul and do whatever I like to them since its incidental. No ref should call this incidental and give a no call

[@OfficialsInstitute]

Thanks for watching.

[@colinmurray9297]

If you don’t see them you aren’t going to “do whatever you like to them” because if you do that then it is clear that you saw them

[@MG53v8]

Was windering about rolling after setting a screen. I was taught to screen then roll in the direction the guy i set a screen on moves. Cheers

[@OfficialsInstitute]

This is still legal as long as there is not contact made to intentionally screen the opponent away.

[@christmasdavis2551]

Very informative. A goldmine of information.

[@OfficialsInstitute]

Glad it is helpful

[@jeffwright7587]

Great videos! Keep em coming.

[@OfficialsInstitute]

Thanks! Will do!

[@philliprunge]

The last example play at 5:34 should have been called an illegal screen. A player cannot set a legal screen if any part of their body is outside their vertical plane. You must call #10 on white for a foul.

[@OfficialsInstitute]

Thnx for watching

[@sachill]

These are great Thanks!!!

[@OfficialsInstitute]

Your welcome

[@OfficialsInstitute]

Thank you for the video.

[@OfficialsInstitute]

Thanks for watching!

[@timcullen5656]

This a excellent video explaining incidental contact. I especially like the non call by the official in the clip where the defense player ran into the dribbler....great no call .

[@skyoctopus2003]

The first one there is a blocki foul for defender

[@OfficialsInstitute]

Thanks for watching.

[@paulmoss6352]

could there be a reaching violation called initially?

[@OfficialsInstitute]

Was there illegal contact caused by the reach? Remember, reaching in itself is not a foul. In fact, rule 4.24.2 states "It is legal use of hands to reach to block or slap the ball controlled by a dribbler...." so don't react to "a reach" and stay focused on the contact that may occur because of it. Thanks for watching.

[@karnkumar8940]

please make video on layup

[@OfficialsInstitute]

Ok, we can definitely do that. What specifically about the layup would you like us to talk about?

[@karnkumar8940]

Explain advantage step in lay up, like 3 step .

[@TrollfaceDarkBruhLmao]

Great now I know how to get away with it😂

[@OfficialsInstitute]

Geez

[@colinmurray9297]

Pretty much every one of these are saying that it is not a foul because because no disadvantage was given to an opponent. So getting away with it just means that you aren’t having much of an influence.

[@ImDJVA]

But did he make that last shot?!?

[@OfficialsInstitute]

🤷🏼‍♂️

[@bradwilliams6691]

i'm sorry. that last play IS NOT incidental contact. the rules state that a screener should allow one normal step when setting a screen outside the visual field of the defender. Screener does that. Since there is contact to the torso of the screener, it should be a pushing foul on the defender. I believe the official got this one right.

[@OfficialsInstitute]

You are correct, the screen appeared to be legal, however the contact caused by the defender who didn’t see the screen should not be held responsible for the contact either, according to rule 4.27.4.

[@garyncoa]

@@OfficialsInstitute I agree with Brad on this. Contact by the legally screened player displaced the screener causing him to go to the floor. No call this and you'll have a very physical game on your hands, which I hate. I'm all for no calls, but when two players go down gotta have a call.

[@jasonbolinger9433]

​@@garyncoa That is an old school philosophy. Nowhere in the rules book does it state that a foul must be called if two players are on the floor. I don't see a foul on the last play in this video.

[@markdunham9634]

@@OfficialsInstitute I would agree with that reading. Putting on my lawyer cap, the text of the rule says "in cases of screens outside the visual field, the opponent may make *inadvertent* contact with the screener." Backing into a screener that is behind you that you could not have possibly seen while actively defending the player in front of you with the ball is the definition of inadvertent contact, considering you cannot avoid contact with something you can't see.
