Big girl takes the hit
We have one team here with a big, thick girl who knows her agility limitations. She's good about establishing legal guarding position, which apparently takes the opposition by surprise. Occasionally an opposing guard (a much smaller player) dribbles in and crashes into her torso (ok, belly) as she stands in LGP with her arms raised above her head. Due to size/weight differences, she doesn't fall backward as many players might after taking similar contact. She remains in the same position while the dribbler/shooter bounces off, usually to the floor. Interestingly, in maybe 4 or 5 similar instances with her involved, I've never seen anyone call a player control foul (or a block). Assuming she truly has established LGP, what is the correct way to officiate this action? Does the fact that she isn't displaced play a part in how it should be viewed?
