Does the defense have the greater responsibility for contact?
2) During rebound, ball is tapped into deep frontcourt and A1 & B1 colide hard while attempting to retrieve it. Is there ever a call in this situation?

1)It's dependent upon where the players are positioned. If they are side by side and have an equal chance I have nothing. If A5 is closest to the ball with B5 trailing and they get tripped up then I have a foul on B5 for a trip, because in my judgement A5 was about to get the ball and if I don't have anything then B gets the ball.
2) Once again just depends on the positioning of the players. Follow the same principles as above.
