I would bet your house AND Jr.s someone will have a conversation with him about it. I'd venture to guess he'd tell you he wanted that one back. Yes offense jumped in, yes contact etc. Not enough for foul at that level or even high school imo. I would pass on play like that.

Why is it always assumed that "someone will have a conversation with him" about it? I could make that call...but nobody's coming to tell me how good or bad it was.

Maybe it's different where you are.

It might not be much of a conversation but even in juco here there's tape review etc. of plays. My supervisor would say we'd probably want to pass on that. Refereeing is hard. Stuff happens. I'm not saying he'd get docked by any means. I just don't see enough contact there and I think it would be pointed out on review.

And I don't think falling down is always necessary. Post player pivots and leads with elbows hard. I can see charge. This just isn't a play I'd call player control. Offense isn't jumping in with a lot of force it doesn't seem. Hurts his own ability to score.

I'm ok with that call. It knocked the defender back several feet allowing the shooter a distinctly closer shot than he deserved. That said, I wouldn't be concerned with a no-call either.

I had this same exact play last week, called a player control foul, and immediately wished I could dial it back.

It can go either way (call versus no call). Defender was displaced, and the offensive player was able to get a shot off towards the basket. I may also have made this call. I can guarantee (well almost) no one is calling this ref, or any ref, for this call.

You're right that it isnt likely he would get a specific call or email over this play. Idid make it sound like that. I think this play will make that crew's list of plays for review. Just as it made our list here. Jeff pulled it because of it being different. I'm not certain in this league, but im aware that other leagues will send crews plays from a game. Good calls, not good calls etc. Mark thought it was an excellent call. I tend to think it will be on the list of plays for review and might come with a note passing might have been better.

And i like you, am not certain about it...which is why I bet Mark and Jr.s house and not my own....

Exactly this. Why do we (officials in general) expect players to fall down in order to call the PC foul?

Do we want players to flop? That's how we get players to flop.
