Art. 14. A secondary defender as defined in Rule 4-36 cannot establish initial
legal guarding position in the restricted area for the purpose of drawing an
offensive foul when defending a player who is in control of the ball (i.e.,
dribbling or shooting) or who has released the ball for a pass or try. When illegal
contact occurs within this restricted area, such contact shall be called a blocking
foul, unless the contact is a flagrant foul.
a. When illegal contact occurs by the offensive player leading with a foot or
unnatural, extended knee, or warding off with the arm, such contact shall
be called a player-control foul.
b. When a player in control of the ball stops continuous movement toward
the basket and then initiates illegal contact with a secondary defender in
the restricted area, this is a player control foul.
c. This restriction shall not apply to a secondary defender who establishes
legal guardian position in the Restricted Area Arc and jumps straight up
with arms in legal verticality position and attempts to block a shot.
