Message: [QUOTE="toadfoot, post: 4606102, member: 481"] I readily admit I don’t know what the rule is, but I’d like to see the NCAA make it a foul when a defender intrudes on the “personal space” of the ball handler. I’d define the personal space as roughly the diameter of the ball. The current situation is that defenders are slapping and grabbing at the ball and it’s nearly impossible in many cases for officials to tell from 20 or 30 feet away whether a defender got all ball or the ball handler was whacked across the forearm. Just simplify the call for the officials and end the current trend towards rugby basketball. [/QUOTE]
