It prevents a defender from jumping to challenge the shot.

I think, if I remember, defender made it into the air and challenged shot. Offensive player made it more difficult to score by jumping in. Much tougher shot than just elevating up for the 8 footer or whatever.

I agree with the PC foul call. In my opinion it is a PC foul by the book. Would I be able to make that call in real time? I think it depends on a few factors. 1. If it was the first few minutes of the game or start of the second half then I would call it a PC foul and stick to that standard of play. 2. If it was at a point in the game when the standard of play was established and my crew and I let more contact go then I would not call that a PC foul. No call would be appropriate. If the opposing coach received a "T" for responding to this then I am assuming the game was physical and the coach didn't think the contact was up to par with what was being called.

I wouldn't make any assumptions from the fact that a coach got himself a T.

To answer the original question about this being a suspect or good call then I think some assumptions need to be made. Early in the game or early second half then it is a great call. Calling this later in the game and it contradicts the style of play already established then it is not a good call. It is the correct call but it does not make it good. Not necessarily bad. My assumption was based on the fact that I never had a coach come at me the first couple minutes of the game or start of the second half for making a call. I have only been doing this a few years so maybe I am just lucky.
