I worked a game where one was called but it was a mess.

PLayer A was leaning away from contact and bailing out early all night. No idea how much trying to fake being fouled and how much was him just being soft. My partner warned him and then warned the coach.

2nd half player is defending the ball when he gets blown by on a ripthrough and go. Instead of sliding gets blown up and hits the ground like he's been hit by a shotgun blast. My partner immediately blows the play dead and calls a T for flopping. Kid gets up spits blood on my partners shoe, causes a scene and gets tossed.

UGLY.

Just curious if anyone downgrades this play to a no call and go with POI given you saw the angles we did. I know that we can do this in NCAAW, but not sure if Men can do it. To me it looks like player going in with hands extended to "set up" his fool the referee play. I'd take the foul away and that player will have a harder time getting a foul call the rest of the night because I will have to evaluate if he is trying to fool me again.

Sounds like your partner blew it. He should stop penalizing players for doing what they're legally permitted to do. That mentality led him into a bad call.
