We often associate Being Physical on Defense=More fouls, but that’s not always the case. So here’s how to get labeled as a physical/annoying defender without picking up fouls. 1. You have to constantly swipe at the ball have, active hands, be smart with your pokes, and always swipe up and not across the offensive players body. 2. Use your chest to bump offensive players off their path, never your arms and don’t fully chest bump them because that will be called. 3. Always have one arm in, ready to have as an arm bar. Do not let the offensive player pin your arm when they start driving, you have to win the arm battle and keep them out of the paint. 4. If an offensive player gets a step on you, don’t ride their hip, get to the spot that they’re going to especially on a drive, if you get there at the right time you can draw charges this way but make sure you aren’t tripping the player or getting there late because then you will get the foul.
