As I'm sure many parents of my players will attest, I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer. So please help me understand a "displacement" issue.
Our opponent's player places both hands on the shoulder blades of my player and pushes forward in an attempt to gain better rebounding position. Although my player's feet never moved forward as a result of the push, her head snapped back like a nice rear end hit in a car. At the next stoppage of play I asked the official why this would not constitute a "push from behind." (Thanks to all of you I've learned to never cry "over the back!") The official stated that there was "no displacement." Was he correct in his call?
Please be gentle...
