Fend off rule when with the ball

LOL, Harsh, but true.

BTW, how do they go at MARS? Are MARS refs the worst in the state?

Tony - you will find most junior refs and several senior have NFI when it comes to these rules.

The cylinder concept is a good one to teach juniors now - ie if you come down from a rebound with the ball, or pick up the dribble you need to keep your elbows inside the width of the shoulders and not swing outside this unless it is to pass the ball.

You are no longer allowed to throw elbows to clear out defenders with both your hands on the ball. Even with no contact this is a foul.

What many refs don't call is the intrusions on this cylinder by defensive players. Any contact while slapping for the ball in this area should be an automatic foul on the defense. The change in rules so that rebounders can't "defend" themselves from people hacking at the ball means every foul on the "hacker" must be called - unfortunately that is rarely the case.
