In most cases you rear-end someone on the road, the driver from behind is the one penalized. If two drivers are going in the same direction (which is really all that applies here), time or distance in not going to be a factor in who is held legally responsible for a car accident. The law and the insurance company is going to consider the driver that is behind responsible. Cutting off may or may not at all be a factor. But if A is driving and B is behind A and A puts on the breaks and B runs into A, I can bet you B is going to get the ticket.

I call probably more offensive fouls than anyone on this board. So I am not there to protect the offensive player. But I am there to call what is expected in the game. And if you call a foul on a defender, most coaches are not going to question that at all. They will get on their player for putting themselves in that position to begin with.
