Well I hate to sound too intense, but if you called a foul everytime someone hit the floor in a women's game, you're going to be there all night.
I have seen post players simply trip on their own feet running across the lane, girls falling coming down with a rebound and no on one them, etc., etc.,
I think common sense prevails in these situations.
Thanks

And..a conversation came up about if there is a collision or if a player goes down...there must be a foul. Even if A1 is dribbling and steps on B1's foot (B1 is in legal guarding position) and A1 goes down they want something called. In this case, a block. The clinician called this a "wrong place, wrong time" foul.
I know when in rome, yadda yadda.
What ever happend to advantage / disadvantage? I understand they want the game called tight but I'd have a hard time penalizing legal defense / bailing a player out.
Old guys....any thoughts?
Do you as an official consider the following to be a truism...
If a player goes down, there must be a foul? I suppose this question could apply to NF or NCAA guys.
