A1 passes the ball to A2 who fumbles the ball.
So we have a loose ball about 2 or 3 feet from A2
She moves to pick it up...B2 dives for the ball from behind A2 taking the legs of A2 out from under her.
A2 falls to the floor....B2 secures the ball.
FOUL......right? RIGHT??

Okay, let's see. Prone on the floor with arms outstretched horizontally to get the ball is not LGP, so she's not maintaining position, contact was initiated by B2, A2 falls, and B2 gets an illegal advantage.
Yup, that sounds like a foul

I thanked him for reminding me that we weren't playing "sissy ball" then promptly puked on his shoes.....

...and reminded him that it's also not roller derby?

What they really need is a good swift T in the books.
