Referees may review situations where they are not reasonably certain whether a personal foul called at any time during a game met the criteria for a clear-path-to-the-basket foul.
Reviewable Matters:
- Ball is ahead of the tip of the circle in the backcourt
- No defender is ahead of the offensive player with the transition scoring opportunity
- Player with the transition scoring opportunity is in control of the ball or a pass to him has been released
- The foul deprives his team of a transition scoring opportunity
- A transition scoring opportunity exists when, following a change in possession, the offensive team is continuously advancing the ball while it has an advantage based on the speed of play, the position of defenders or both
- The foul was committed prior to the offensive player starting his shooting motion
- The foul was caused by the defender’s attempt to intercept or deflect a pass intended for the player with the transition scoring opportunity
- Whether any unsportsmanlike acts or unnecessary contact occurred
- Whether a flopping violation proximate to the called foul should be assessed or rescinded
Notes:
- A clear-path-to-the-basket foul will take precedence over a called transition take foul
- Transition take foul is not a reviewable matter
