No way I'm calling that in a D-1 game. There was obvious contact, but not enough in my opinion to call a foul on. I don't think he gained an advantage by pushing, considering the ball rebounded nowhere near either of them.

*plink plink*

Remember the film they showed us last fall with all those uncalled fouls? Followed by a famous voice commanding "That's a foul! Call it!"

I bet you $5 we'll be looking at that play next fall.

You mean the one where everybody in the room looked at each other and said, "Bwah?" Yeah, I remember. ;) And you're probably right.

Huh???????
Would you call it in a HS game?
Grammar School?
Rec League?

If it is a clear advantage for A4 to push B4 in the back, then get the ball, make the call.

I'm not so sure he got pushed in the back. It could be the neck or head. Contact like this could lead to a fight.

Exactly. Not every foul has to be adv/dis. Some fouls are "game management fouls." Let this one go and you might regret it when the game gets real messy later.

I think this is one that should have been called. The contact was NOT incidental in any manner. It was not a light bump. It also assisted #5 in getting to the ball and kept his opponent away.

God?

Henry Nichols?

Or, in NCAA ball, is there no difference between the two? :p

(With apologies to SuperFan)

They usually use NCAA Tournament games for those. I do not think this was a tournament game.

I do get your point.

Hey, JRut, were you working in Libertyville Sunday?
