totally not a fan of ankle braces. Leave that to the players.
Ball on the floor. Player gets it on the ground. It sounds like they want us to call a preventative whistle quick to prevent injuries when others start swarming for the ball. |

"Ankle braces" are nowhere mentioned in the rules portion of the POE's. No suggestion to "call a preventative whistle quick..." appears or is emphasized anywhere. In fact, we are simply challenged to call the fouls that occur when the loose ball recovery action ensues. In fact, the oft-called preventative held ball whistle prior to things getting rough is discouraged: "...officials have also erroneously called a "held ball" prematurely to stop action rather than calling the contact foul before a player gains possession."

Yeah, but when I read the bottom section, what I get from it is "We are missing loose ball fouls, this is increasing the chance of a player getting hurt. Use your judgement but if you see a player with the ball on the floor and others going for it without the positioning they are probably fouling so blow that whistle sooner.
Without question, incidental contact is part of the judgment in loose ball situations. However, much contact is not incidental to getting the ball, but rather is violent contact with no chance to get the ball. The loose ball situation with players diving or rolling on the floor is a situation where the potential for injury increases in proportion to the number of players involved and the amount of time the ball is loose. The player who gains possession while on the floor is often fouled two or three times before passing the ball or before a held ball is called. A review of past situations shows that in some cases, officials have also erroneously called a "held ball" prematurely to stop action rather than calling the contact foul before a player gains possession. A player going after a loose ball should not expect to be pushed, grabbed, elbowed, blocked or tackled as a penalty for going after the ball. |

Call the travels that are travels. Stop calling the travels that aren't travels.
Call fouls to protect players and reduce rough play. Don't no call things JUST because kids can play through it. Stop believing coaches when they tell you everyone is healthy and equipped properly. Administer what you can to get more of this right. Think that about sums it up . . .
