Rebound Positioning

This is one area that I feel I need to address in my game. So let me reiterate what I think I'm hearing, and ya'll can tell me if I've misunderstood.

Shot goes up and B2 pushes A2 under the basket on the left-hand side of the basket. Rebound goes to the right. I should ignore the fact that the rebound went to right and call the foul? Rather, I likely should have already called the foul before the rebound occurred. Also, as long as the shot was in the air before the foul occurred, the basket will count if it goes -- no matter which team the foul is on. Is all that about right?

You are right about the fact that the shot will count if it had already been released when the foul occurred. I would never tell you whether or not you should call the foul or not. It depends on how much contact happened and perhaps also on the intensity of the game. That's why you get paid the big bucks is to decide when contact is or isn't a foul.
