First, the worst thing that you could do is to make a picky call BECAUSE THE COACH IS RIGHT THERE AND EXPRESSING HIS DESIRE FOR IT!

Don't EVER let a coach influence a decision that you make!

That coach will think that he can get a call from you whenever he wants and will be on you the rest of the game.


Secondly, why are you considering penalizing a player for stepping an inch OOB? Remember calling the obvious? Besides was that such an advantage that you had to get it? Do you really think that it meets the spirit and intent of the rule?

I know that you don't call every little bump during the game a foul, and I'm guessing that there was some contact when she was running shoulder-to-shoulder with an opponent.

If you really want something to consider, think about what would you have called had the PG had the ball at this time.
Would you have called an OOB violation or a foul on the opponent?

Thankfully, here the player didn't have the ball and you weren't forced to make such a decision, so you had the option to just let the little stuff go.
