Without trouble I can think of 2:
- An obvious illegal screen that frees the dribbler
- Crash into a stationary defender by an airborn offensive player off his pass.

What people see as an illegal screen is not always the same interpretation.
I do agree with the second one if there is no flop.
The problem with this discussion is this is all about interpretation. I have said many times over the years where you live might affect how you interpret what you read here and what you call. When I was in camp this past year I was criticized about not being more selective on a few calls. This particular camp was a HS camp, but I did the same at another camp and I was criticized for not passing on a shooting foul. The bottom line is there is a delicate balance to what should be called and what should not be called. And the philosophies I read here are not said that different from the HS level to the college level. Many of our HS players are some of the most recruited basketball players in the country. It is not expected that we call marginal contact especially at the Class AA level. That might be expected at the Class A level, but those kids are not D1 prospects. I read this board and many of the suggestions I read about I could never do and still work a certain caliber of game. I just have to agree with Tommy on this and his opinion on this.
We must remember we are talking about concepts, not absolutes.
