12. 2016-2017 Points of Emphasis 4. Protecting the Free Thrower
Continues to be an area of emphasis
Rule change last year was to protect the free thrower
On release of the ball the defender “boxing out” shall not cross the free throw line into the semicircle until the ball contacts the ring
Officials should be aware that contact & displacement of the free thrower is illegal & shall be enforced

13. REVIEW Points of Emphasis
( )
Protecting the free-throw shooter
Free thrower & players outside the 3-point line are not allowed to cross the free throw line & 3-point line until the ball makes contact with the backboard or the basket
Players along lane spaces are allowed to enter on the release; as a result to this change, protection of the free thrower needs to be emphasized

14. REVIEW Points of Emphasis
( )
Protecting the free-throw shooter (cont’d)
When the defender crosses the free-throw line and into the semi-circle too soon, this is a violation
A delayed violation signal is used; if the free throw is successful, the violation is ignored
If the defender makes contact with the free thrower that is more than incidental, a personal foul is the correct ruling

15. 2016-2017 Points of Emphasis Post Play An area of improvement, but…
Continues to be an area of awareness & enforcement

16. REVIEW Points of Emphasis
( )
Post play
Legal for offensive & defensive players to touch when both are maintaining a legally established position
Illegal contact on a post player is any tactic using hands or arms or just generally demonstrates rough physical movements that allows a player on offense or defense to control the movement of an opposing player

17. REVIEW Points of Emphasis
( )
Post play (cont’d)
It is a foul and should be ruled as such when:
An opponent is displaced from a legally established or obtained position
An arm-bar is extended and displaces an opponent
A locked and/or extended elbow displaces an opponent
A leg or knee is used in the rear of an opponent to hold or displace
Holding, Hooking, slapping, pinning or pushing the leg or body of an opponent
An offensive post player “backs-down” and displaces the defender once that defender has established a legal guarding position
