I never once considered this to be a " make up " call. But do consider this to be a " Fair " call.
It was too late to call the foul even though there was an advantage. We are taught to have a slow whistle and see the whole play. 99.9 % of the time this works well but on this play it came back and bit me.
At the time I didn't consider the bump to be any advantage at all so I passed on the Foul.
The bump did cause the player to go out of bounds as she never regained her ballance so I did what I felt was fair at the time... I gave the ball back to the team that was put at a disadvantage.
I have passed on contact in the past but it has always seamed to work itself out. This play it didn't.
I have never nor will I ever pass on a player "barely" stepping on the OOB line. To me this is a cut and dried call that must be called every time.
I agree that calling the OOB and giving it to the other team would have been the easy thing to do.... But is it fair?
I just did what I felt was fair in this sittuation and would like to hear what others would have done after passing on the innitial contact.
Am I wrong for this?
