perception is 99% of the call ?
Situation A: Big Man has position in the paint. Small point guard goes in for a layup. Contact squarely in the chest. Big man doesn't move. Small point guard bounces off of him and goes down.
No call, foul on little guy are the correct choices but the perception you blew it will be based on the little guy getting bounced.
Situation B: Small point guard is clearly late as he slides in front of the Big man going in for a layup. Small point guard goes down and big guy lands on him.
Foul on the little guy is the correct call, but the perception again is that the big mean guy crushed the little guy and it has to be a foul on the big guy.
You can not have a no call here because you have two bodies on the floor as a result of the contact. You can not win here so all you can do is what is right.
