Assignors may also have a problem with officials who don't understand that displacement can be incidental contact too. That would be the officials that don't comprehend what rule 4-27-3 is trying to tell them.
Rule 4-27-3--"Similarly, contact which does
not hinder the opponent from participating in normal defensive or offensive movements should be considered incidental".
Just because you have "displacement" doesn't mean that the displacement will
always be a foul. It will be a foul
sometimes. That's all I'm trying to say.
We've had numerous threads where posters espouse the virtues of officials having a patient whistle and also seeing a play out. If you do have a patient whistle and see this play out, and the ball does go in, and the player displaced is immediately able to resume their normal offensive or defensive duties, and if the contact was not rough or excessive, should a foul be called? In my opinion, in that particular case, no. Note the "in my opinion".
Btw, it's not really a good idea to try and back up your own view by saying that assignors agree with you, unless you are an assignor and you also know that the great majority of assignors also hold that view.
Btw, fwiw the POE that you are referencing specifically is concerned with 2 situations- post play and screening- where the displacement is also definitely putting an opponent at a disadvantage.
