Rule 6 - Fouls
A foul is an infraction of the rules concerning illegal
personal contact with an opponent and/or
unsportsmanlike behaviour
Personal Fouls involve player contact with an opponent
(live or dead ball), during playing time
Technical Fouls are non-contact infractions of a
behavioural nature during playing time and all
infractions (contact and non-contact) during intervals of
play
6
Rule 6 - Fouls
Cylinder Principle:
Defined as the space within an imaginary cylinder
occupied by a player on the floor
Extends from floor to ceiling and is limited by the front
by the palms of the hands, the rear by the buttocks,
and the sides by the outer edge of the arms and legs
The hands and arms may be extended in front of the
torso no further than the position of the feet, with the
arms bent at the elbows so that the forearms and
hands are raised

Cylinder Principle

8
Rule 6 - Fouls
Principle of Verticality:
During the game, each player has the right to occupy
any position (cylinder) on the playing court not already
occupied by an opponent
As soon as the player leaves his vertical position
(cylinder) and body contact occurs with an opponent
who had already established his own vertical position
(cylinder), the player who left his vertical position
(cylinder) is responsible for the contact
9
Rule 6 - Fouls
Legal Guarding Position:
A defensive player has established an initial legal
guarding position when he is facing his opponent and
has both feet on the floor
The legal guarding position extends vertically above
him (cylinder) from the floor to the ceiling
He may raise his arms and hands above his head or
jump vertically but he must maintain them in a vertical
position inside the imaginary cylinder
10
Rule 6 - Fouls
Guarding a Player who Controls the Ball:
The elements of time and distance do not apply, as the
player with the ball must expect to be guarded and be
prepared to stop or change direction when an
opponent takes an initial legal guarding position in
front of him
The defensive player must establish an initial legal
guarding position without causing contact
The defensive player may not extend his body out of
his cylinder to impede the movement of the dribbler
11
Rule 6 - Fouls
Guarding a Player who Controls the Ball (Cont.):
The defensive player may not extend his body out of
his cylinder to impede the movement of the dribbler,
but may turn within it to avoid injury
When judging a charge/block situation involving a
player with the ball, contact must occur on the torso, in
which case the defensive player would be considered
as having been at the place of contact first
12
Rule 6 - Fouls
Guarding a Player who Does Not Control the Ball:
The elements of time and distance shall apply
A defensive player cannot take a position so near
and/or so quickly in the path of a moving opponent that
the latter does not have sufficient time or distance
either to stop or change his direction
Distance is proportional to the speed of the opponent,
but never less than 1 normal step
13
Rule 6 - Fouls
A Player Who is in the Air:
Airborne players may land in the space from which
they jumped, as well as any place (and the direct path
to it) which was unoccupied at the time of take off
If, after landing, a player’s momentum causes him to
contact an opponent who has established a legal
guarding position beyond the landing space, the
jumper is responsible for the contact
Moving under an airborne player and causing contact
is usually an unsportsmanlike foul
14
Rule 6 - Fouls
Screening: Legal and Illegal:
An attempt to delay or prevent an opponent without the
ball from reaching a desired position
Legal: the screener was stationary (inside his cylinder)
and had both feet on the floor when contact occurred
Illegal: the screener was moving, did not give sufficient
distance (outside the field of vision of a stationary
opponent), or did not respect the elements of time and
distance of a moving opponent when contact occurred
15
Rule 6 - Fouls
Charging:
Illegal personal contact, with or without the ball, by
pushing or moving into an opponent’s torso
Blocking:
Illegal personal contact which impedes the progress of
an opponent with or without the ball
16
Rule 6 - Fouls
No-Charge Semi-Circle Areas:
On any penetration play into the no-charge semi-circle
area, any contact caused by an airborne offensive
player with a defensive player inside the no-charge
semi-circle area shall not be called an offensive foul
Applies when the offensive player is in control of the
ball whilst airborne, he attempts a shot for a field goal
or passes, and the defensive player has one or both
feet in contact with the no-charge semi-circle area
(lines included)
17
Rule 6 - Fouls
Contacting an Opponent with the Hand(s) and/or Arm(s):
Touching an opponent is not necessarily a foul
(advantage = restricts freedom of movement, such as
remaining in contact to impede progress)
Repeatedly touching or jabbing is a foul
“Hooking”, pushing off to create space or get free, etc.
are fouls
18
Rule 6 - Fouls
Post Play:
The principle of verticality (cylinder) applies here too
It is a foul to shoulder or hip one’s opponent out of
position, or to interfere with their freedom of movement
using extended arms, shoulders, hips, legs, etc.
Illegal Guarding From the Rear
Holding
Pushing
19
Rule 6 - Fouls
Personal Foul:
A player’s illegal contact with an opponent during
playing time, whether the ball is live or dead
A player shall not hold, block, push, charge, trip or
impede the progress of an opponent by extending his
hand, arm, elbow, shoulder, hip, leg, knee or foot, nor
by bending his body into an ‘abnormal’ position
(outside his cylinder), not shall he indulge in any rough
or violent play
