A1 and B1 both go for rebound, get there same time, we almost have a jump, but B1 gets control. In the process, B1 pivots, and A1's hand and arm go with B1. Now B1 has the ball, but also has A1's hand and arm. A1 is trying to get loose, but can't. It seems like there ought to be something there, but what!?!?

Jewel,
If the contact merits a foul, I can easily rationalize 'illegal hands' by the defense.

I'll give offense credit for a better rebound, for making a heads-up play. It's obvious that defender got there a little late, a little weakly.

I have not, yet, called a PC on this play. Nor do I intend to call a PC in the future.
