Tweet, I have a whistle on A2, the 3 point basket is good and Team B is in the bonus. So, we go and shoot the 1 and 1 on the other end. I get in the locker room and the R is pissed that I had a whistle on that call and states that since there was 4.9 left on the clock, I should have let that one go. I told him that it was a total dislodge and put B1 at a disadvantage. Am I wrong for making such a call??? Comments.....

If the ball went in how is B1 at a disadvantage?

Speculation on my part and I know it doesn't answer your specific question.

But it may have to do with the temperature of the game. A contentious game between rivals and B1 may retaliate if there is no whistle?

While this may be true he did say B1 was put at a disadvantage...and while we're really drifting off topic that's gonna be a pretty special case to call the foul with 4.9 seconds left if the idea was to keep the game in control.

btw I'm not saying the foul may or may not have been good, just questioning what he said about B1 being at a disadvantage. I do agree there are times the game needs a whistle that has little to do with advantage/disadvantage.

The disadvantage came with when B1 was pushed out of his spot across the paint......

And because of that B1 .... what? Couldn't get the rebound?

Bottom line is, everyone is entitled to a spot on the floor, if said person is driven out of that spot, its a foul.

Reference, please. And be sure to include 4-Incidental Contact.

Now, that said, we had two calls much like the OP in tonight's game. We also had several "no calls" when the "block out" wasn't as severe.

If the ball was still in flight at the time of whistle, there still is a chance at a rebound. Which is why A2 pushed, isn't it?
