This was a good no-call, but I almost wished I had.
Just banged H team dribbler for a PC foul, using his arm to contact and push off the defender, right in front of H's bench. I had "the slot", and it was an easy call. Coach remarks, "That was a good call, now just make sure you call it on the other end."
Sure enough, I'm new T on the very next play going the other way. Just before I cross the division line, with the dribbler about 12 feet in front of me right in front of the V bench, I note what might have been contact by the dribbler in the exact same fashion as just previously on the other end. This time, however, I didn't have "the slot"--all I had is the back of the dribbler. Though working to get the slot, from that position I saw nothing. If there was something, a strong C didn't catch it. I "think" I knew what "might" have happened, but wasn't going to guess.
H coach just about had a conniption (sp?) fit.
Oh well.
