Justa,if you re-read Camron Rust's post,I think that that's a pretty good way to call this type of situation.You call what you are sure is happening,not what you think may be happening.If a player is going for the ball and there is not an excessive amount of contact,it's a normal,everyday common foul,as far as I'm concerned. That's how we train our officials to call it,and I know a lot of Associations or Groups use the exact same philosophy.I'd check on this one with your local rules interpreter though,if I were you,and find out how he wants it called.What you do want is uniformity in this type of call in your area. The coaches and players have to know what to expect from the refs.

Mark's way may be technically correct,but I doubt very much that many areas do call it that strictly.
