Chuck,
I don't believe Crew and Eli were saying that every time a defender gets ball and then contacts body, it is a no-call.
Rather to let the play develop, hold your whistle and see the consequence of the defenders action. If it merits a foul, by all means call one. And they are correct in saying that this type of play is one that supervisors at higher levels want refereed in that manner. They want blocked shots!
I remember sitting in camp listening to John Guthrie relate a story of how he had an offical working in the SEC that did not believe that Shaquille O'Neal could block a shot.
He said every time Shaq would block a shot, this official
would find something to call. After several attempts to
explain to this offical that blocked shots happen, and no change in the officials methods, he was let go.
I think bottom line is: When in Rome......
If your Supervisor wants it called a certain way, by all means, his is the Gospel Truth!
