Did not know that one.

I'm still getting better at advantage/disadvantage. I think I've made some real strides since reading this forum and working hard on it. I made little "rules" for myself that helped me with when to call.
My "rule" for contact after the shot was pretty simple - if the contact didn't hinder the landing or the shooter's pursuit of the rebound, I didn't call it. However, if the shooter gets knocked off balance - even if it's just contact with the hand after the shot that pulls him a bit to the side - then I'm going to call it, whether he lands on his feet or not.
It's worked pretty well for me (though the screaming from the bench when someone's hand gets hit afterwards is pretty funny) as I continue to improve my ability to judge each case individually.
