Differentiating Explosion vs. Attack Plays in Offensive Fouls

This video breaks down an offensive foul scenario, highlighting the distinction between explosion plays and attack plays at the basket. It emphasizes the importance of recognizing when a player uses power and strength rather than agility to drive through a defender. The lead official demonstrates excellent positioning and awareness, correctly identifying the defenderโ€™s legal guarding position and the offensive player's illegal contact. By understanding these nuances, officials can make more consistent and accurate block/charge calls in game situations.
