The last two Ohio home games I have seen some horrific, blatant arm-bars right in front of officials with nothing called. I don't believe I have ever seen it called in the women's game here, to be honest. I've seen Mike Laster be called multiple times this year for hooking/shielding a defender. Last night there was a ton of Northern players with chicken wings going down the lane, shoving defenders back, no calls. Is this a point of no emphasis at the women's game for some reason?

To me, dribbling with your off arm extended out as a shield to defenders is an arm bar.

It's amazing how may fans think that you can't go over someone's back to rebound a ball.

I openly admit, I'm not an official, but I find it hard to accept it as legal when it's being used to knock a defender off balance and gain an advantage.

It's only a foul if the arm is used to push. It is a hard call to make. It can be difficult to see if a player is pushing off or simply shielding the ball. Players get away with it on all levels of basketball.

I openly admit, I'm not an official, but I find it hard to accept it as legal when it's being used to knock a defender off balance and gain an advantage. On offense an arm bar is perfectly legal as long as it is NOT used to create separation by pushing off and extending the arm. Which is a foul, and the act of extending the arm, makes this no longer an arm bar. As for "over the back", there is NO such foul in basketball. And that is NOT an issue of semantics, that is simply a fact, that foul does not exist as a category.

I think a lot of people say "over the back" when they really mean that someone is pushing someone or trying to go through their back to get a ball. There are other times when people seem to think simply reaching over someone to get a ball is a foul.

I haven't been on BA today, there's this thing called "class" that I, for whatever reason, have to attend... Sometimes it gets in the way of interacting with you all! It's a shame, isn't it? I'd answer your question, but it seems to already be answered above. The arm-bar is a push-off the defender by the offensive player. It was described perfectly above. I have seen it a lot more this year from our girls, mainly from our guards who want to get underneath. I can ask Boldon and company about their thoughts when I see them tomorrow on the bus to Fiami (Fri the 26th). However, I fear the main thing(s) about last night's game aren't being mentioned here, and it's the outcome of the game. All thanks to Cece Hooks' game-winning, "Steal. Drive. Basket!" (See highlight here ---> https://www.facebook.com/jake.hromada/posts/1719776161377... ) Also, kudos to Katie Barker for a career-high 24 PTS off 8 three's, and Taylor Agler for her career-high 12 assists. She doesn't get enough credit, most underrated PG in the MAC. (See recap here ---> https://www.facebook.com/jake.hromada/posts/1720400377981... ) Thanks for the S/O!

It's amazing how may fans think that you can't go over someone's back to rebound a ball. I don't find it all that amazing. Fans have learned it from announcers who say it and referees who at least used to make some unofficial gesture that resembled diving over someone. It doesn't necessarily have to be a push, though. If you impede the space above another rebounder as he tries to jump, I believe that is the foul on the impeder even though the jumper may seem to have initiated contact.

That's one thing I have found interesting about CeCe, she shoots pretty well from the line and her form looks good, but she doesn't really shoot from the outside. Teams play off her a good bit, probably worried about the blow by, but if she develops a decent outside jumper that has to be respected she's going to be scary.
