I think we agree on the basic principles.

JR, could you please help me by telling how you would handle the following situation?
You are the C on a fast break. The play is 1 v 1 with the defender trailing after the ball was stolen.
The offensive player jumps from the block on the other side of the lane from you which is only a few feet in front of the Lead. The Lead is in good position and in front of the action. The defender comes from your side of the offensive player, but is still positioned well over on the other side of the FT lane, probably only a couple of feet inside the lane.
The defender fouls the offensive player by taking a wild arm swing, missing the ball, and smacking the opponent directly in the face. The offensive player and defensive player fall to the floor directly at the feet of the Lead.
The Lead has a whistle and a fist in the air.
What do you right now, if anything? Do you even blow your whistle on this?
