Well, yea, and she didn't really fall on her, sort of crawled quickly. Then she gained control, player underneath lost control, there was no need for undue roughness, and B1 rolled with ball.
As to your question about a "loose ball" the NFHS doesn't really deal with a "loose ball" situation in terms of contact, except to say that if players have equal opportunity to get to the ball, contact can be severe without calling a foul, but if one player gains an advantage illegally, that is a foul, no matter how severe or un-severe. The coach has been watching too much NBA (no surprise). You might then say to the coach, "The loose ball foul rules are different in the NBA than they are in the NFHS", but don't say it if MTD is listening. He'll report you for "unprofessional abuse of the language."
