Hard Foul, Non Flagrant, defender makes contact, offensive player falls hard Hard Foul, Non Flagrant, defender grabs & holds up offensive player Hard Foul, Non Flagrant, defender attempts to block opponent’s shot
“This is an example of a foul that would not be considered a Flagrant Foul. The defensive player, Grant Williams, takes a foul by wrapping both arms around the offensive player, Trevor Ariza. The contact is correctly ruled a 2-shot foul as the offensive player had gathered the ball, but it is not a flagrant foul, as the contact is neither unnecessary, nor excessive. There is no wind-up, hard impact or follow through by the defender. Again, this is not a Flagrant Foul.”
