Heading: Contact: General principles     Sub Heading: No-charge semi-circle areas

"The no-charge semi-circle areas are marked on the court for the purpose of designating a specific area for the interpretation of charge/block situations under the basket.

On any penetration play into the no-charge semi-circle area, any contact caused by an airborne offensive player with a defensive player inside the no-charge semi-circle shall not be called as a team control foul, unless the offensive player is illegally using the hands, arms, legs or body. This rule applies when:

• the offensive player is in control of the ball whilst airborne, and

• the offensive player attempts a shot for a goal or passes the ball, and

• the defensive player has one foot or both feet in contact with the no-charge semi-circle area."
