COC Training Tape #4: Block/Charge, Leg Kickouts, and Timing Rules

This session provides an in-depth review of critical officiating areas for the 2025-26 season. The training begins by re-evaluating the "good old-fashioned" run-over charge, reminding officials to identify legal guarding positions and avoid defaulting to blocking fouls on secondary defenders. The tape then transitions into "offensive-initiated contact," specifically targeting jump shooters who use leg kickouts to deceive officials. Three clear options are provided for these plays: no-call, player-control foul, or flagrant 1. Further analysis covers the nuances of illegal elbow "swing-throughs" and the high standard for flagrant fouls.
