Had it happen Friday in a girls game where the defender was trying to keep up with the person she was guarding which meant she had to go thru the stack to do so. I thought it was odd too. My partner called a foul on the defense, though I thought both teams where pushing the heck out of each other on the inbound. I didn't like the stragety, too messy, not enough options for the inbounder.
