Tony, I just got back from camp and this rule of thumb was
passed along by one of the clinicians (a very well known and respected national "big dog").
All things being equal, in a crowd if the ball goes up you
can be pretty sure you had a foul, if it goes down the
defender got all (or mostly all) ball and play on. It's
kinda interesting that I never heard this before and now
I've heard it twice in 1 week. Sounds like a good guideline
to go by, but like Chuck it's new to me and I'm gonna give a while before incorporating it into my game. But I
will say during camp it did seem to apply.
