ART. 7 . . . It is not legal to use the hand and/or forearm to prevent an opponent from attacking the ball during a dribble or when throwing for goal.
Generally speaking if you place a forearm on a non-post ball handler for a second and then remove it a foul won't be called(although techinically its still a foul). However if you keep it there for more than a moment (riding him) even if you aren't pushing with the forearm its a foul. If you put the forearm on, remove it, then place it again during the same dribble, its a foul. Similarly, you can place 1 hand on a ball handler (not pushing) for a moment and then remove it. Riding him, or keeping the arm there, using 2 hands at any point, or placing, removing, then placing the hand again during the same dribble will also constitute a foul.
In the post, you can use the arm bar/forearm or one hand with a bended arm in the back of the post player to attempt to hold your position but if you push, use 2 hands, straighten the arm or use a leg to assist its a foul.
-The Knicks’ coaching search still includes a lone frontrunner, Kurt Rambis, whose qualifications for the position include a strong relationship with Jackson and a willingness to take the job.
