Help me with advantage/disadvantage

[JRutledge]

Juulie has it right. There is really a fine line between a foul and a no-call. In order to know that line you must watch a lot of basketball. I can tell you it took me some time to have a more patient whistle and when to blow the whistle and not to blow the whistle. I am not going to say that I am great at it, but many of my fouls are blown after the action happen. My whistle is especially slow on shooting attempts. A few years ago my whistle would be blown the minute come contact took place. Now I wait a second or two before I even make a foul call.

I do not think any of us know for sure if this was the proper call one way or the other. None of us were at the game. What you have to decide is did the ball handler take herself out of bound or did the bump do that? If the bump caused the player to do something they would not have done, then you have a foul.
