You make the Call

I totally agree. I think Bob and Dan was trying to get the OP to see this. My thing is if it's not a complete take down and it is a classic backed or pushed him off of his rebound spot, I would wait to see if there was going to be a rebound before I make the call. A little patient whistle here and we're walking off the court in 4 seconds. Now we have to go to the other end and another opportunity to prolong the game and have more crap put into it. The 4.5 seconds can now take about 2-3minutes. (B1 makes his FTs, and they foul immediately, we go down shoot for A1, he makes two, but A2 dislodges the B1 in anticpation of a rebound on the 2nd FT and our OP calls the foul because he wants to be consistent, so we do it all over again, etc etc.. all hypothetical of course)
