1) You are why the game has deteriorated.
2) There's a difference between not calling accidental contact on a rebound, where the defender clearly backs off and no harm has been done, and ignoring what you are presuming is bad defense. Call the foul. The offense will get to the bonus all the sooner. The defense will have it's players in foul trouble all the sooner. They will either back off and play better basketball or die an ugly death.
[/B][/QUOTE]1) That is an absolutely ridiculous statement. This call is a judgement call. Why is your judgement so much better than the other posters?
2) How come you are so sure it's a foul and not incidental contact? Doesn't NFHS rule 4-19 state that a personal foul is illegal contact that hinders an opponent from performing normal offensive movements? How did the normal offensive movement of the post player in this situation get hindered in any way, shape or form?
You may want to re-think your philosophy a little re: what is or isn't a foul. Calling pissant little contact fouls that don't really affect a play in any way isn't really the purpose and intent of the rules imo.
