B3 did not jump in front of A2, B3 ended up jumping basically directly rib to rib into A2. I blew the whistle and ruled a push on B3 for basically knocking A2 off the ball, thus gaining an advantage. In football it would have been a great interception. I know this is a HTBT moment but what do you think?
Every player has a right to his position on the floor if it was legally obtained. It sounds like A2 got his position legally and then was denied the position by B3. That's a foul.
