He wanted a foul

[Rita C]

In the last minute of men's rec game. Close game most of the contest but now 6 points apart.

Player gets a fast break. Defender reaches in, makes contact but dribbler has no change in forward motion or dribble. I called no foul. This happens twice and defender looks to me both time and wonders why I didn't call a foul.

I realize the strategic importance a foul can have in a game, but I wouldn't have called a foul here earlier in the game.

Or maybe I should? I'll admit to still be learning.
