Agian thie variance of opinion on how this play would be officiated illustrates how the official's "judgement" inheres. On the one hand we must determine--as it was astutely pointed out--that LGP was not yet established, yet it was also clear that the rebounder was 'on the back'. Over-arching the scenario was the "culture" of the particular game---in this case a competitive aau type of atmosphere where 'athleticism'[regardless of how wayward it is expressed] is celebrated rather than penalized--and this factor has great potential to affect the willingness of the offical to make the "on the back" call [if that's what they 'saw']. So, I would wager in 95% of the time that this would viewed as a "play on" type of play.
