I have to totally agree with Jeff on this one. Show me a block (especially in the boy's game) where there is no contact, and I will show you a game that does not resemble basketball. I have yet to see a 6'8" center not make contact any contact on a block shot. I have called fouls where no one fell to the floor. I agree that maybe we should not call a foul just to please the fans, but are we not pleasing the fans when we call a foul because a player hit the floor hard? We have to use our judgment to decide why they hit the floor.
Peace
