This is an example of an offensive foul by the shooter. It is a foul by an offensive player with the ball to ‘push off’ to prevent the defensive player from playing or attempting to play the ball, or to create more space for himself. In this example, Black 21 elevates to shoot on a drive to the basket with defender White 6 in legal guarding position jumping vertically within his cylinder. Black 21 then uses his right arm to push away the right arm and body of White 6 to prevent him from playing defence, and to create space. This is an offensive push off by Black 21.
