4-1 We have an airborne shooter. This is not a situation where there is a loose ball. The players are not in an "equally favorable position to perform normal defensive or offensive movements". Player A is an airborne shooter and Player B2 has caused illegal contact.
Now, choosing to pass on the foul is one thing, but don't say that it is "incidental contact". You have decided not to call the foul. That's OK. However, IMHO, you are asking for more trouble by not making this call than if you make the call.
Don't make the call:
Coach A " Common, he got hammered."
To coach A "Yeah, but what a great block."
Make the call:
Coach B "What did he do?"
To coach B "He got him with the body coach."
