Offensive "right to the ball"?

The problem is that some referees (usually inexperienced or those who do not care to improve) think if there is a "Major Collision" you gotta have a call.

I think that this comes from the advise that if there is a "train wreck" block/charge where both players go to the floor you need to have a call. A block/charge situation is vastly different from one where no player has the ball and two opposing players are both trying to grab the pass - each has an equal right to the ball.

No doubt if the referee does it correctly the coach players and spectators will be screaming and of course they will be wrong AGAIN.

Yep - happened to me today!
