Was @ a camp a couple of years ago where the clinician happened to be a DI Supervisor when the following play happened.
I was "C" when A1 drives to the basket from me when after going airborne for a 6' er B2 tries to block the shot and causes a little body contact, not significant in any way, but enough to change the shot a bit. I waited to see if the shot was going to go, it went so I passed on the foul.
I was practically patting myself on the back thinking I just demonstrated a patient whistle in front of this Supervisor. Well I was wrong!!! The Supervisor came out on the ensuing T/O and asked, "If the player missed the shot would you have called the foul?" I said, "yes!, "I was waiting to see what impact the contact had on the shot." His reply was, "if its a foul if the player misses then its a foul if its made!"
He went on to say that we put way to much thought into whether we should call the foul or not. If its a foul then its a foul!!!
