Lightbulb Not only is...............

over the back not a call, do not penalize any player that outjumps or out plays another player for the ball. There is nothing wrong with a player making any kind of contact with a players back in itself. But if a player is pushed and moved, whether it is their back, side or chest, then you have something.

So if a player is from behind and just outjumps a player in front, this is nothing. It might be that the player from behind made a better effort for the ball. Or many times just might be taller.

One of those coaching myths.

Peace
