Incidental contact

[REFVA]

Did your association tell you to call it on the defender 99% of the time too? Jurassic Referee

Of course not, it's who initiated the contact. many times at the High school level the offensive player is not always innocent. I'm not sure if that was a trick question or just being funny

Neither.

Just wondering if you had been instructed to always call that a foul on the defense too, no matter what the circumstances are or who initiated the contact.

They would prefer a call as long as it's legitimate.. as stated, only if there is contact then call it on who ever initiated it.
