Feb 11, 2015, 4:51 PM

Section 1. Personal Fouls

Art. 1. A player shall not hold, displace, push, charge, trip or impede the progress
of an opponent by extending arm(s), shoulder(s), hip(s) or knee(s) or by bending
his own body into other than a normal position or by using any unreasonably
rough tactics.

Art. 2. A player shall not contact an opponent with his hand unless such contact
is only with the opponent’s hand while it is on the ball and is incidental to an
attempt to play the ball.

Art. 3. A player shall not use his hand(s) on an opponent to inhibit the freedom
of movement of the opponent in any way.

Art. 4. The following acts constitute a foul when committed against a player with
the ball:
a. Keeping a hand or forearm on an opponent;
b. Putting two hands on an opponent.
c. Continually jabbing an opponent by extending an arm(s) and placing a hand
or forearm on the opponent;
d. Using an arm bar to impede the progress of a dribbler.

Art. 5. A player shall not extend the arm(s) fully or partially other than vertically
so that freedom of movement of an opponent is hindered when contact with the
arm(s) occurs.

Art. 6. A player shall not use the forearm and/or hand to prevent an opponent
from attacking the ball during a dribble or when trying for goal.

Art. 7. A player may hold his hand(s) and arm(s) in front of his own face or body
for protection and to absorb force from an imminent charge by an opponent.

Art. 8. Contact caused by a defensive player approaching a player with the ball
from behind is pushing; contact caused by the momentum of a player who has
tried for goal is charging.

Art. 9. A dribbler shall neither charge into nor contact an opponent in the
dribbler’s path nor attempt to dribble between two opponents or between an
opponent and a boundary, unless the space is sufficient to provide a reasonable
chance for the dribbler to pass through without contact.

Art. 10. When a dribbler passes an opponent sufficiently to have his head and
shoulders beyond the front of the opponent’s torso, the greater responsibility for
subsequent contact shall be that of the opponent.

Art. 11. When a dribbler has obtained a straight-line path, the dribbler may not be
bumped, pushed or otherwise crowded out of that path. When an opponent is able
to legally obtain a guarding position in that path, the dribbler shall avoid contact
by changing direction or ending the dribble.

Art. 12. The player intending to become the dribbler shall not be permitted
additional rights to start a dribble or to execute a jump try for goal, pivot or fake.

Art. 13. A secondary defender as defined in Rule 4-35 cannot establish initial
legal guarding position in the restricted area for the purpose of drawing a player
control foul/charge 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.

Art. 14. Illegal contact caused by the swinging of the elbow(s) that:
a. Results from total body movement is a common or flagrant 1 personal foul
b. Is excessive per Rule 4-18.7 is a flagrant 2 foul.
c. Occurs above or below the shoulders of an opponent is a common,
flagrant 1 or flagrant 2 personal foul.

Art. 15. Illegal (not incidental) contact with an elbow that does not involve the
swinging of the elbow shall be considered a foul.

Art. 16. A player shall adhere to the rules pertaining to illegal contact, including
but not limited to, guarding as in Rule 4-17, rebounding as in Rule 4-29, screening
as in Rule 4-34 and verticality as in Rule 4-38.

Art. 17. A player shall not contact an opponent in a flagrant, excessive, severe or
extreme manner while the ball is live (includes fighting).

Art. 18. All of the above is null and void when the Clemson Tigers are playing. Fouls will be called at the discretion, or lack thereof, of the officials.
