When this play happens, simply ask yourself:
1) "Did the defender establish LGP?"
2) "IF she has LGP, who is then responsible for the contact?"
You CANT call a foul on a defender who has LGP when an offensive player runs into a defender and fouls down. You also CANT call a foul on the offensive player if she does not displace (or gain an advantage) a defender w/ LGP.
Just referee the play based on the rules and NOT based on whether it looks "funny"/"odd". (Officials do this all the time when calling a travel that's looks "weird" even though it wasn't a travel by rule - think "Euor-step").
