Impeding Progress, defender holds offensive cutter Impeding Progress, defender grabs offensive player’s arm Offensive Foul, shooter extends leg unnaturally into defender
“This is an example of a defensive foul for impeding progress. The defensive player, Kristaps Porzingis, reaches out with both hands, and he grabs the left arm of the offensive player, Caleb Swanigan. This illegal contact impedes the offensive player’s progress as he moves to receive the pass. A defensive player may not dislodge or reroute an offensive player, nor may he impede an offensive player’s progress.”
