I had a problem of players trying to foul, not getting the ball and not having a foul called. They look at the ref wanting a foul called while the other team runs down the court and scores. (kinda funny - kids looking at a ref and saying "hey, I fouled him!) I learned to coach them to get the ball and force the ref to make a decision. We either get the ball with no foul, which happens more than you might believe, or we get the foul that we needed. So when I yell get the ball, my players know that they are to do everything they can to get the ball, including foul. Prevents them from just grabbing, and we get what we want.
