Last night I had an 8th grade girls game. In the 2nd quarter V1 had a breakaway and was being chased by H1. I was the trail when the play began and now moving to be the new lead. When V1 attempted a layup, H1 went for a block. H1 got a ton of ball up top but there was a lot of body contact and some arm on arm contact. Neither player was knocked to the floor or hit the back wall. H1 also did not follow through on the block attempt as there was no contact other than the body and some arm on arm. As I am reporting the foul the V coach was very upset that I didn't call it intentional. Our conversation went as follows:

VC: How is that not intentional? My player is vulnerable and she took her out.

Me: Coach she made a play on the ball. The contact wasn't excessive she didn't even knock her down. She didn't follow through.

VC: That is s**t

You can probably guess how that comment went over.

I understand it is probably a had to be there call but with my description should it have been intentional due to large amount of body contact?
