I see what you are saying. My gut says in most games I'm calling push/charge on the offense.

Trying to look at the game as a whole (which is tough with only the clip):
- You've got what appears to be a low level game based on age and size of players
- You've got a low skill game based on lack of footwork to get open and the catch and shoot mechanics of the player they choose to feed the ball to later in the clip.
- You've got an offensive and defensive player who will be seeing each other on a number of inbounds who's immediate responses seem to be to clutch and grab and then crash into the clutcher and grabber.

Probably too much analysis and inference here but seems like the sort of game where you may need to do managing to make sure things stay clean and kids are focused on playing the game/ may not understand rules. This is the only situation and reason I would think double foul and talk. Clean this up if it is constant on inbounds all game long based on just the clip.
