Then that is a bad rule.  Again he didn’t swing, he was bringing the ball above his head while also trying to ward off the Lloyd players attempt to foul.  Just don’t agree that it was intentional.

I agree with you, certainly a judgement call.

Lloyd Memorial 69 Highlands 68

Final via the 859 Sports Radio livestream and the comfort of my La-Z-Boy.

Thought Highlands was going to breeze to a win after opening an eight point lead after Q1. Lloyd is so, so quick, and hustled back to cut the deficit to one at the half.

Juggs took a six point lead early in Q4. Birds took the lead back by one on a layup by Rickard with 1:59 to play. Lorenzen FTs made it +3 at 0:39. Intentional foul called on Lorenzen at 0:15 and Kabeya sank both FTs and Lloyd retained possession. Golsby made a jumper for the one point win in the final seconds.

L [15. 19. 16. 19.] 69

H [23. 12. 14. 19.] 68

Juggernauts: Blaackar 23, Golsby 15, Kabeya 12, Lewis 12, Coleman 5, Barger 2

Bluebirds: V Listerman 17, Rickard 11, Bouldin 10, Ebert 10, Lorenzen 10, Messmer 3, Harris 2

● Up next ~

Highlands (21-3 MR KY #14) at Conner Tuesday.

I'm going to send you some game popcorn via uber tonight to enjoy while you're in your lazyboy.  It's much better than the microwave corn.  LOL

It does not.  It would be great if it would because I see a lot of charges under the basket.

Thought the cylinder rule referred to a very tight invisible space around the head, shoulders, etc that allowed the offensive player to extend his arms upward within that cylinder and any resulting contact would not be an offensive foul.  Perhaps this is just in the NBA.

NBA and a college.   If a defender is deemed to be inside an offensive player's cylinder, floor to ceiling, the defender is in violation.  Either way, not a HS rule, so immaterial.  

To answer an earlier question, if the elbow strikes a face when it is deemed to be moving with the torso, it is an offensive foul.  When it is deemed to have been "swung", not moving with the torso, it is an intentional.  They ruled the latter last night.
