Chain Reaction Foul #2

[kelvinsmerli]

Calling the foul on B2 is PC cuz you probably dont wish to explain yourself. See the whole play.

A1’s attempt is unsuccessful.

Q: Is the foul charged to B3 or B2?

I'm good with a foul on B2 in this one. B2 did not legally contact A1. It doesn't matter that B3 gave b2 the impetus that caused the contact. There is no rule against B3 pushing B2.

Is there some case play or interpretation or rule that I'm missing on this situation? I can't find anything.

How can you call a foul on B3 for contacting his own player? Find rules support for that one.

I'll be honest, I'm really not sure what you're saying here, cuz. But you get points for trying to use a camp cliché. You don't get full points, though, because it's not really applicable to this play.

I have no problem explaining this to either coach. "the foul is on the player who actually contacted the opponent." I bet I can say that and enunciate extremely well in less than 5 seconds.
