I've had a number of people above me say that it's important to trust your partners and their primary, but if something has to be called that is obvious to everyone except your 2 partners then call it. This is a play that the coaches and the players don't want to hear that "I saw it but I'm not supposed to call it in lead". I think that the assigner or evaluator would say to lead "Good job on saving the crew". However, it's very possible that lead didn't see this because he was officiating the 2 rebounders on the opposite block.

I can agree with everything you just said. Now since it is different, who's assigner said "just get it right?" Don't make the two the same thing when they really aren't.

Yeah, unfortunately they missed the GT.
However, I would not have had anything on the elbows either. I don't believe that he even hit him with the elbow. The contact looked like it was made with the tricep or back of the upper arm. The MI player lost his cool. If he is going to get right up in someone's mug, what does he expect at this level? Should the offensive player just give him the ball?
He's going to make an effort to get him away. Most of these plays are about the guys showing some respect for each other. Lack of that is what starts the problems.

When the ball is cleared by the rebounder, 99% of the time the other 9 players run down the floor. Like you said, this is what happens when a defender decides to get in the rebounder's face.

(If it's girls basketball, change the 99% to 9%.)

Nevada, this is a good point. What is the player supposed to do when someone is in his face? I think they should have a right to move/swing within reason and if contact occurs the defender should be responsible to prohibiting the offensive player's movement.
