To those seasoned officials...yet another question

[dhodges007]

I just got done officiating a 12 y/o game. This was my third game for the night and have been working with the same official the whole time. He is the more "seasoned" official, but because of this forum and my desire to learn all of the rules... I may have a better concept of right and wrong vs. popular belief of what a violation truly is.

Let me set the stage for you... This is a gym where the floor is very slippery even with sweep in between games. (I have brand new shoes and slip all the time.) I am in the L position ball is in the key. A1 is getting ready to shoot but she brings the ball way behind her head, like she was going to launch it. B1 comes behind her *no contact from what I can see* and strips the ball. My partner blows the whistle and says foul (later he told me that he called a pushing foul). She goes to the line for two.

Two questions. As T should he have called that in the paint which was clearly mine? Secondly, if you have an obvious blocked shot with a push afterward, do you go to the line for two?

I understand that you didn't see the play and that it is hard to make a call without seeing it first, but I am curious about the correct mechanics and two the correct call in that type of a situation.

Thanks for all you insight...
