True. It comes down to the interpretation of impeding the offensive player. And right now, there’s a significant difference between the way some ILH officials and OIA officials call it. It’ll take time for everyone to process this. I don’t think perfection is a reasonable expectation, but certainly everyone is trying. That’s the hope.

When illegal contact occurs, fouls must be called. Officials must not refrain from calling these type of actions that create an advantage for the opponent. Illegal contact must be called regardless of time and score.

No where in the 2013 – 2014 Point of Emphasis does it state that a defender putting a hand or forearm on a dribbler (hand check) is a foul.
