Rebounding Foul : Hold : Not A Legal Boxout East Texas AM vs Hawaii
In this training clip, we examine a frequent illegal rebounding tactic where defenders face their opponent and use two hands to hold, effectively preventing any legitimate attempt to rebound the ball. The Lead official provides an excellent example of disciplined officiating by staying locked into their primary coverage rather than being pulled toward the flight of the ball. By identifying this illegal contact early, officials can penalize the action properly and prevent the game from escalating. Failing to catch these holds often leads to increased unnecessary physicality and a loss of game control, making it vital to resist "ball-watching" during high-traffic rebounding situations.
Play BreakDown
This is an example of illegal rebounding tactics that we are seeing a lot. Players are facing their opponent and holding by putting two hands on them and not allowing them to attempt to rebound. If we stay focused on our primary, which the Lead does a excellent job of here, we will pick up this illegal action early and properly penalize. If we get caught watching the ball and miss these plays it will increase physicality and mess up our games.
