The wheelchair is considered a part of the player’s body in relation to establishing responsibility for contact on court in the case of charging, blocking, going out of bounds, and other violations.
An offensive player may not remain in the key area for more than three seconds. On an in-bounds play, the offensive player is not allowed to go into the key until the ball is handed to the in-bounding player by the referee.
In addition to the technical fouls that may be assessed from time to time as in stand-up basketball, a player lifting his or her legs to gain an advantage or lifting out of the chair is given a technical foul. The player must remain firmly seated in the chair and must not use his or her lower limbs to steer the chair or gain an unfair advantage.
In the event that a player falls out of the chair, a referee may stop the play if the player is at risk of being injured, otherwise play will continue.
