OFFICIALS NEED TO DO A BETTER JOB OF BEING CALLING THIS SITIUATION. I KNOW EVERYONE BELEIVES IF HE LEAVES HIS FEET ON A HEAD FAKE HE DESERVES TO BE CALLED FOR A FOUL. BUT HE HAS A RIGHT TO THE SPACE ABOVE HIM.

YOUR THOUGHTS.
I've seen this before in City league with myself on the lead baseline and A fakes a shot from outside the three point line and B leaves his feet jumping straight up,A jumps forward across the three point line initiating the contact. What do we call? No call,player control, or a foul on B? There was contact,is this an advantage/disadvantage issue? I had no call but the trail called a foul on B.
