This point comes up all the time in base leagues. The players think that because they got touched on the hand it should be a foul. It gets old..."he ref, what no foul?"..."When he fouls you I'll call it" I always get hit at a dead ball wanting an explanation. Usually I tell them to go get the captain or I'll explain it to the coach one time and then point them all in his direction.

As far as after the ball has left the hand, I try to apply two thoughts (1) was it intentional? If yes, I'll expel some air through the whistle. (2) did it affect the play?

Am I wrong in this thought process? or could I apply it differently for better play?
