However, the official may have seen something entirely different than what you saw and therefore called a push.

"Over the back". I always love when a coach yells that. I just go up to the coach and say, "show me the hand and arm signal for 'over the back.'"

Sometimes a quicker whistle in such situations can prevent problems, and a held ball is usually better than someone being assessed a foul. The double whistle is always exciting when one calls a jump and another calls an 'over the back' (push) call. Need to be mentally prepared for that. I know it all happens fast, that's why it's good to read about situations like this one, in advance of it happening.

I actually had this exact situation in a girls varsity game a couple weeks ago. THe coach of the girl who ended up with the ball in front of her asked why it wasn't a foul since the other player was reaching around his girl. I told him that they both had firm hold on the ball up high and it only ended up the way it did because his player pulled the ball down low in front of her, but that the other player didn't do anything wrong and I wasn't going to punish her for holding on to the ball.

When there's "over the back" goin' on, I try to determine if it was a push, or if it was a hold. Often times on a rebound, the person behind hooks his arm over the person in front, preventing them from their vertical movement upwards. That should be a hold, not a push.
Just a ticky tack observation and not completely related to this post, but I do agree with the held ball as stated above. Sometimes, when two players go for the rebound, they both have the ball cleanly, then they come down, still both holding the ball, but someone is underneath the other. Looks to many like it should be a foul, but the held ball is a good call there.
