>>went flying for a loose ball. the collision was violent. i had a no-call. caught heck from the crowd<<

As one official I worked with my first year succinctly put it, "who are you going to call the foul on and why them and not the other?"

In the old fed books there use to be a discussion about rule concepts after the written rules. One such in particular stated something along the lines of "the contact could be harsh or even violent and still not be a foul." Later they implemented some of those statements into the specific rules.

Is that stated anywhere in newer fed books? I haven't seen it but maybe I missed it.
