Rough Play during Jump ball struggle

I can't think of a situation where I've seen a foul called at this point in the play. I would think if you did have one, it would almost have to be flagrant.

Junker, if you call it flagrant that means you have to dump the player from the game. In this situation it looks like a "talk to" IMO

Sorry, I was unclear. I didn't see anything that I would have called a foul in the OP. What I was trying to say was that I can't think of a time when I've seen a foul called in a situation like the OP. I'd be more inclined to talk to players in the OP rather than call a foul. About the only way I would call a foul is if I had a flagrant act while they were wrestling around.

I couldn't agree more.
