I think that most of you are missing the boat on this subject. No one has mentioned the fact that the lead official who calls the foul for pushing on the rebound shouldn't be watching the shot in the first place much less watch the ball in flight and see if it goes through the basket. If you are doing all of that who is watching the rebounding action and post play. I see too many officials with "four eyes" on the ball and off ball coverage is forgotten or made by a glance here and there. If my partner ever made the argument of waiting to see if the basket was made before calling a foul on rebounding position, I doubt that I would work with him in the near future. Another point is consistancy in your calls. How can you justify calling the same play on one end a foul just because the basket wasn't made and on the other end let it go because of a made basket? I welcome any comments on my observations and thanks for the opportunity to make my point.
