Possession after foul while shot is in the air

As to whether B gained an advantage since the shot went in, the foul occurred early in the shot. I had no way of knowing it was going in when I blew the foul. I guess I could've waited, but if B1 ended up with the rebound it would've been one seriously delayed whistle.

In my opinion, a patient whistle is better than a quick one.

I understand what you're saying and I agree 100%. I'm much more patient and deliberate than I was when I started a couple years ago.

However, as I mentioned previously, the rebounder really launched a kid sideways a good 2-3 feet with a hip check. And sometimes in MS games these kids apply what they see in NBA games thinking that's normal, or don't yet know what's permissable and what isn't, and often a tweet is part of their b-ball education process.

So I agree with the patient whistle theory, but in this case I don't regret making the call. It was more than an aggressive box out.

As always, thanks to all for your valuable input.

Sounds like a solid call. Sometimes you have to make that one to keep the game clean.

In my opinion an uncalled hip check that moves somebody three feet is gonna lead to trouble down the road. They ain't playing hockey.

Are you going to let the same thing go at the other end?

Some plays call themselves, irregardless of a patient whistle. To me, this sounds like one of them.
