Q from 1st Year: Bodies on the floor under the basket.

[ca_rumperee]

I think I had a lightbulb turn on last night.

Had this last night.

Player A1 drives from corner, B1 tries to draw charge, falls on the floor under the basket. No call from me -- incidental contact.

A2 grabs rebound and almost lands on prone player B1. Misses direct landing, but the steps on him somewhat in an effort to avoid him. A2 is in a great position for a putback at this point.

I blow whistle to end play and caucus with my partner. (I did not feel that play was safe to continue).

We got together and called a block by prone player B1 on rebounder A2 and awarded ball to A on the endline.

I'm not sure my partner completely understood me when I explained that I stopped play because I felt it was unsafe and I needed to know how we should proceed. I would think now, upon reflection, that I could stop play there and just award the ball to A on the endline for being in possession of the ball when I stopped play deeming it unsafe.

Anyways, the lightbulb turning on for me would be this: while I don't always have to have a call one way or the other on a block/charge, I need to have a call one way or the other on a block/charge in a highly congested area. If I had made a call one way or the other on the first play, the world would have been a better place.
