Also, if there are guidelines in place such as two hands on, forearm, etc. take advantage of the guideline and call the foul, you can't go wrong there. You can tell the coach "(Name of coach here) he had two hands on the dribbler and by our guidelines that is an automatic foul."

RSQB....interesting...I think I have been calling like this in my time (just didn't realize that was the philosophy!
)...A lot of coaches want stuff called but when the contact really does nothing, I generally let sleeping dogs lie....
Never fails if you let them play you get the "Clean it up" comment and if you are cleaning it up you get the "Let them play" comments!
