TC1 Hapoel Holon vs Tsmoki Minsk UF Basketball Champions League

Black 4 starts a transition guarded by Yellow 4. When the defender is beaten, he extends his left arm and pushes Black 4 from behind. Article 37.1.1 Bullet 3 An unsportsmanlike foul is a player contact which, in the judgement of a referee is: An unnecessary contact caused by the defensive player in order to stop the progress of the offensive team in transition. This applies until the offensive player begins his act of shooting. Article 15.1.3 Bullet 1 The act of shooting in a continuous movement on drives to the basket or other moving shots: Begins when the ball has come to rest in the player’s hand(s), upon completion of a dribble or a catch in the air and the player starts, in the judgment of the referee, the shooting motion preceding the release of the ball for a field goal. Outcome: Correct decision from the referees. The illegal contact created by Yellow 4 meets the criteria to be called as Unsportsmanlike Foul as it was an unnecessary contact to stop the progress of transition and the act of shooting had not started yet because the ball had not come to rest in the hand of Black 4. Black 4 shall attempt 2 free throws with no line up followed by a Black team throw-in at the throw-in line and 14 seconds on the shot clock.
