This is a big misunderstanding. Donny Marshall thought the same thing as analyst for the MU/NOVA game the other night. A post defender is allowed to use an arm bar against an offensive player that has his back to the basket. Just can't extend and push the offensive player. On the perimeter, no contact is allowed (hand-checking, body-bump or arm bar). I think the MU coaches want Henry, being 6'11" and having a long wingspan, to keep both hands up and move his feet. I agree with this, don't want to leave it up to the discretion of the referees. It is difficult to shoot over Henry with both arms extended.
