Question. Would you call a block when the contact is minor and the defender who has established LGP flops? In other words, the defender has LGP and the contact is initiated by the offense. However, the contact is just a "brush" and the defender yells and falls. If the shot misses would you still have a block or would you have nothing?
I had this situation and did not call anything. The coach of the defensive player requested a T.O. to ride me about not calling a PC foul. Now I'm still a rookie and I'm not known by most coaches, so he's giving me an ear-full and I'm explaining the lack of contact. Then my vetern partner walks over and simply says, "That was a flop coach. That's all it was" and walks away.
"Yeah... what he said!"
