#25 Reminder: There is NEVER basket interference when a defender slaps the backboard and the ball is on the rim.

 

Always hear parents screaming for a technical on that one.

Can be a T. Depends on it was a legit attempt to block a shot. Just never a BI.

I love how BirdBrain posts this list and then leaves Clyde high and dry to explain every rule more thoroughly. :lol:

Clyde has better words than me ! :dancingpa

I did not know #16. I thought any movement was a violation.

Or maybe he knows the rules better?! :sssh:

Nope.

Informative list. Thanks for posting.

I wish that one would change. In many gyms, the basket moves much more from a backboard slap than it does from grabbing the net clearly interfering with the shot.

Seldom is a tech called even if there is no chance that the shot can be blocked. I feel a tech is overkill anyway for an intentional slap. Awarding 2 points seems logical, but I seem to always be in the minority on this one so I doubt it changes.

I wouldn't necessarily disagree with you on this one. Many more times than not, the high school defender that slaps the backboard has a limited chance at blocking the shot. I usually chalk it up to a defender getting beat and slapping more out of frustration. Don't see it changing.

25 Misunderstood Rules in High School Basketball

 

4. “Reaching” is not a foul. There must be contact and the player with the ball must have been placed at a disadvantage. Comment: See Comment #1

8. A “kicked” ball must be intentional, and contact must be any part of the leg. Comment: MUST be intentional. We miss this too many times at the lower levels.

.

 

1. The whole "disadvantage" this is subjective. If you reach with contact and I pick up my dribble, then I am at a disadvantage. IF the reach with contact caused me to travel or commit an offensive foul, then I am at a disadvantage.

 

2. Is there any such thing as an Offensive Kick?

A kick is a kick regardless of the kicker being on O or D.

Can an offensive player dribble off his own foot, but not the defenders? Is one off the defender while deliberate or not considered a kick?

Dribbling off the foot is not a violation.

 

I am struggling to picture a defender sticking his foot out to stop a dribble.
