• Every player has the right to move freely anywhere within the playing court without being illegally restricted by an opponent.
• Any illegal contact that restricts, displaces, or hinders a player’s ability to move should be ruled a foul.
• Freedom of movement is most commonly affected during:
  • Rebounding situations
  • Post entry passes
  • Screening actions
  • Off-ball cuts
• Officials should focus on:
  • Whether contact prevents a player from going where they are legally entitled to go
  • Whether an advantage or disadvantage is created
• Physical play is allowed but illegal displacement and preventing freedom of movement is not.
