Offensive foul, dribbler pushes off on step back Offensive foul, dribbler pushes off on step back Offensive foul, dribbler pushes off on step back
“This is an example of an offensive foul for an illegal push off. The dribbler, LaMarcus Aldridge, starts toward the basket, and by combining a sudden stop with an illegal push off with his off arm, he creates space between himself and his legal defender, Dwight Powell. The extension of his left arm from elbow to wrist, to push off his defender is illegal, and it is an offensive foul. An offensive player may not push off their legal defender in any way.”
