When personal contact is made with an opponent which restricts their movement.(for example, physically grabbing a player driving to the basket).
Moving one's elbow outside the cylinder to disadvantage an opponent. This mostly occurs during a post-up play situation, where either offense or defense attempt to gain a better position.
Called when a player moves or attempts to move an opponent with force, even if they do not have control of the ball.
Contact by the defense on a ballhandler that impedes a player's speed, quickness, rhythm, and/or balance.
Extending the hands outside the cylinder and causing illegal contact (for example, going for a steal but hitting the player's hand or arm, or hitting the arm of a shooter).
A screen is an attempt by an offensive player to stop a defender from guarding the ball-carrier.
Each personal foul committed by a player is also counted against his team; when a team goes over the limit, its opponent is awarded a free-throw.
