Sometimes players lean when they jump expecting the defender to come underneath them and if the defender bails out the offensive players ends up crashing to the floor. I had this scenario last season. Player drove, jumped, leaned, and at the last possible second, before contact was made, the defender simply backed up and the offensive player came crashing to the floor. It was a 3-man crew and me (Lead) and my partner (Trail) saw the exact same thing. The coach who was 70 feet away kept insisting there had to be a foul, that his player would not just fall to the floor on his own.
