So, A2 takes a shot, misses, B4 gets the rebound. A4 stays right with B4, who has his back to A4. B4 puts two hands on the ball under his chin, elbows out, and pivots without exerting any extra force beyond what is necessary to make the normal basketball move. A4 catches one in the chin, & goes down. No call?
