The first play was just an example of how we should call fouls on hits to the head even if slight.

The angle we're seeing isn't great but I see solid contact between the defender's forearm and the A1's left elbow. I don't know about D1 but I think I'd want to call that a foul in my games.

For the record, D1 wants more fouls than our level. I still think that is not really a solid foul. If nothing was called I would have been fine in my games at the high school level.

I can see that being passed on. Defender went up and got ball, at least mostly.

It's all about a first reaction for the official -- obviously it tripped his trigger.

I have also made those calls I am sure in my career. They are close plays.
