displacement

A1 and B1 are in the key when A2 puts up a shot from the perimeter. B1 turns his back and leans against A1 to block out. A1 leans into B1 in response. B1 drives back with his legs and displaces A1 two or three feet.

Seem like a clear foul on B1 since he displaced A1, especially if the rebound comes down right where A1 was standing.

The trouble is, coaches hate this call. They teach their kids to block out and they don't care about displacement. Several times his call has been the start of bad blood with a coach that ended in a rough game.

Does anyone else have trouble with this call, or am I calling it too close?
