So that means the bigger kid that out jumps the smaller kid should not be called for a foul just because there is a little contact. You will find that they call for a foul when nothing illegal took place.
Please do not repeat this, because you will then lead the coach to believe that ALL contact is a foul. We know this is the case, don't we??? Right on JRut.
