Reaching is another word that doesn't appear in a rule book.

Now, if you want to call it a push on the body, sure. Many times "over the back" calls are incorrectly called simply because it looks like the other player was "over the back"

I meant to say “reaching over and pushing.” Basically trying to describe the foul how it’s meant to be called. Now you can see why just saying “over the back” is way easier.


It is easier to say but also constantly reinforces in people that don't know the rules that such a thing exists. It is not a penalty to be taller than your opponent and to be able to reach above them from behind and get to the ball. I watched the game last night and Minnesota was just plain bigger. As long as they are not dislodging with their lower bodies, it is fair to outreach your opponent.

I should have said a couple Minnesota players invaded the Drake players vertical plane with illegal contact.

I watched 0.0 minutes of the game so I have no clue. While it is true it is not illegal to "simply outreach" your opponent. You cannot go through said opponent to outreach them.

Do some of you really think that someone who is interested enough in basketball to post on this board doesn't have enough basketball knowledge to understand what probably constitutes a foul? I'm pretty sure there is no rule called "grabbing an arm" or "kneeing in the back" or "head butting an opponent", but I still think those actions may constitute a foul. I'm pretty certain that everybody understands that some sort of physical contact is required for a personal foul.

Bradley thoroughly dominated Little Rock tonight. Final score 86-46. Good to see these confidence building wins but hate to see these kinds of games on the schedule.

Yeah but I don't think Little Rock was expected to be 300+ RPI bad. They were 241 last year and picked to finish 10/12 in Sun Belt again.

UALR was supposed to be one of the non-cupcakes.

Bradley's SoS is quietly turning into a bit of a woofer. We better carry a sterling record into MVC play to help everyone's SoS, because we might tank everyone's oSoS.

Maybe I'm just cranky because the team has to travel to Chicago State in a few days. :Bam:

Oh yeah I hate that game. We should buy it out. Could probably do it for about $20.
