I need some advice on how to call the chaos in the lane during rebounds, which seems to be exceptionally bad during girls games I am calling. How do you pick which foul to call, especially when multiple exist? At what point does "over the back" (not a call, I know) become a block, push, hold, etc? This has been a difficult area for me, and, in the girls games especially, seems to be the beginning point for escalating hostilities between the teams. Thanks in advance for the help.

Sleeper,
A good place to start is to see if a player has been moved 12"-18" and that "the moved player" had a chance at getting the ball.
If there is just too much activity, and you don't like it, just call a foul on a "known player". That'll send the message that you are looking.
...Then go down to the other end and call it again.
Yes, it's tough, but set your own tolerances, and quit listening to, "Let 'em play!"
