Passing on a foul????

From what I'm reading, it took 3 pivots to regain her balance, so you've got a "foul" that took place 3 or 4 seconds ago, with no whistle. I'm not going back 4 seconds to get it right. I just missed it. The violation can't be ignored, and ignoring the violation is not a viable solution. We all know better than to issue a make-up call.

You missed the foul, move on. The player violated by stepping on the line, call the violation.

Sometimes it takes a few seconds to determine advantage/disadvantage. I had a college player get bumped on a rebound and I had thought that the player had cleared the rebound -- but within a second or two the player fell.

I didn't "miss" anything. I saw the contact. Once it was clear to me that the contact put the rebounder at a disadvantage it went from "contact" to a "foul".

Better late than never and since I'm going to take grief from someone, I'd rather it be the coach whose player caused the "violation."
