Message: [QUOTE="oldude, post: 3095270, member: 7511"] For comp Players generally are permitted freedom of movement on the court. Players are also entitled to the vertical space they occupy. If Lou's hands were straight up and Dillard jumped into her, the foul should have been called on Dillard. In this instance, Lou's hands were extended 2 feet in front of her. Dillard was entitled to that space whether Lou was moving her arm or not. Dillard's move was a "pro move" you often see from really good shooters in the NBA, to force the contact. Another way to explain the foul is to compare it to a foul that is called on a screen. The screener may have her feet set well in advance, but if they are set too wide, and the defender trips over one of their legs, the foul should be called on the offensive player. This is a problem that Liv has had often this season when she sets a screen with those two long legs of hers set wide. [/QUOTE]
