This post RESUMES the topic .
In all guarding situations,
a player is entitled to any spot on the court he desires, provided he gets to that spot
first without contact with an opponent. In all guarding situations
during a live ball, a player is entitled to any spot on the court he desires,
provided that he gets to the spot first without contact with an opponent. In all guarding situations
during a dead ball, the defensive player(s) must be allowed to take a position between his
man and the basket.
Contact while the
ball is dead should be ignored unless it’s intentional or flagrant. A contact foul
during a dead ball, is a technical foul and an
Unforced Turnover
for the eBA-stats.
After the ball
has been dead, it is put into play by a jump
ball, throw-in, or a free
throw attempt. The game clock does not start until the ball is legally touched on the
court by a player. However, we wish to penalize any floor
violation or personal foul which may occur. Therefore, the ball is live
when it is placed at the disposal of the thrower-in or free throw shooter, or is tossed on
a jump ball. It is solely for the purpose of not having to assess a technical foul if illegal contact occurs, in which case the eBA System
register the foul and charges with an
Unforced Turnover
to the player who made the foul.
