With regard to walking away, my point is that sometimes players misunderstand an opponent's actions. I had a play Saturday where a player was fouled from behind on a fastbreak layup. The defender grabbed the shooter to prevent her from going into the wall. The shooter thought she was trying to hold her or push her into the wall and took offense to it. Luckily, my partner was Johnny on the spot.
For reasons such as this, many times it's better for two players to avoid any conversation or contact after such a play.
