 * "legal guarding position" can move
 * when calling a ball (carry) does player have advantage?
 * verticallity - you have your space vertically straight up
 * no call
 * have to be displaced to call a foul
 * double whistle (jinx) - lead will take
 * talk in pregame about how you will call

 * allows for layups
 * basketball is a limited-contact sport (contact results in fouls)
