Message: [QUOTE="JoePgh, post: 2963307, member: 1131"] Where does this "invading her space" concept come from? Certainly not the rulebook. A player doesn't own any space other than what she occupies. The only way that a defender could invade her space and commit a foul would be to shove her and displace her. A defender who is merely in contact with the offensive player but does not shove her commits no foul. And a defender who anticipates where the offensive player will want to pivot and occupies that space first is simply playing good defense. The offensive player can deal with that by pivoting the other way, if she is athletic enough to do that without traveling. [/QUOTE]
