When I first read this thread yesterday, I wasn't going to bother to respond, but after you continue to spew such nonsense I am compelled to reply.

So why you are watching these two players sprint down the court right in front of your partner on a play that you ARE
NOT going to make a call on even if you think there is a foul? If you aren't going to help, then you shouldn't be looking there.
Also, who is watching the other eight players who are behind the play while you are ball-hawking your partners play? Someone could have punched someone or clocked an opponent with an elbow and you would have had no clue what happened.

I said, "could it possibly have been a trip or push." He replied, "no, are you saying that you think I blew the call." CONVERSATION OVER.
The guy missed the call.
In the situation I just described, my partner left the gym thinking the INCIDENTAL CONTACT from behind isn't a foul.

You partner's explanation sounds pretty good to me. Perhaps that is why he is a six year veteran of varsity ball and you are ....???
It is solely your opinion that he missed the call. Do you call a foul everytime one player steps on another's foot?
Finally, I hate to break it to you, but incidental contact is NEVER a foul, and it doesn't matter from which direction it occurs--the front, the side, or the back. You need to spend more time reading the rules book, especially 4-27 "
Incidental contact is contact with an opponent which is permitted and which does not constitute a foul," and less time criticizing your partner's calls.
