Be cool, JR. Not worth getting upset about.

RKBUmp

From your op, it sounds like the other team was outrebounding you because of their size. You can counteract this by blocking out your opponent (getting inside position) BEFORE they get rebound. Not wait until the other team gets the rebound. Does your coach teach your team this?

Once the other team gets the rebound, if your team is getting elbowed as you say, it sounds like your team was trying to harass the bigger man - try to force a held ball, slap the ball. Am I right? Very often the DEFENSIVE player will commit a foul here. The rebounder obviously has been taught well - pull the ball into their chest and pivot away from the defender. This is perfectly legal. It is only if the elbows are flying wildly and a defender is hit will I call a player control foul. But again, as other officials have said, it is a play you have to see.

And RKBUmp - get a hold of those books - they are not expensive (rules, case book, illustrated qre most helpful)
