That is a true statement for NCAA basketball, which is the floor this game was played on, but this is a high school game and the NFHS does not have a circle in the rules.
A lot of these defending benefit of the doubts are hard calls to make. Establishing LGP is great to look for and give play back to defense, but it seems a rule has to be implemented or an existing rule has to be rewritten to accommodate the scenario. It’ll always be natural movement to flail a leg or arm out to maintain a sort of balance as you’re shifting with the ball. That look will always look like a blocking foul is about to be committed.
The Old School thought I believe was if the defender was moving his feet (and didnt go down “taking the charge”) then they would not call the charge. Thoughts?
@@OfficialsInstitute Thank you for the reply! I am enjoying your content - thank you for creating it. I am a second year Middle School Coach and appreciate the detail you go into as I attempt to relearn the game. Another quick question and would appreciate your perspective - even perhaps an idea for one of your presentations - are officials "Biased" against a Press Team? We are trying to run a Full Court Press the entire game and it really seems like several of the calls are one sided though some of it could be what you discussed in this video which is officials (we only have two) focused on the ball until a help defender (second trapper) gets into their "Picture". Thanks in advance for any thoughts. - Steve
@@OfficialsInstitute Watched again! I still think many officials believe this (moved feet or didnt and "took" the charge) as a golden rule or maybe when a threshold they use to call a charge and certainly most of "everybody of in the gym" thinks this way. The foul at 51:00 would have been called a charge if the defender had fallen backward and not moved his feet - when he moves his feet - they call it a block. As a coach this is when/how the majority of refs call it IMHO.
I'm looking for help identifying a referee signal i'm seeing quite a bit in the NCAA tournament. Here's the scenario. Ball carrier has the ball inside the arc, near the key, butt checks a defender and the defender goes down. Referee blows whistle, single hand up, then puts both arms down at his side, palms up, then lifts the arms up at the elbow, puts them back down, 3 times. Possession changes hands. I've looked everywhere and can't find what this is.
Last one is not in legal guarding position if his feet are on the charge circle.

All we can do is try to enforce the rules already on the books.

If that is the old way of thinking, it is no longer a thing.

Sounds like the signal for flopping.
Legal gurding, ofensive foul
Thanks for watching.
