Since a reach is not a foul how can you call one? Never use the term reaching in on a basketball court when you ref! You call jumps fast because some can get hurt as the stronger player will whip the ball out of the hold and someone will get hit by the arms/ball.

I call a foul if they make contact while reaching in. I guess it's just easier to type "on the reach" versus "illegal use of the hand when they make contact accross the arm of the person in control of the ball". I stated we had differing opinions. I stated my reasoning as did you. Let those who read it decide what works for them. OK?
P.S. How do you get those smileys in your post? I click on them and they are never in my text.
