Possession awareness

[IREFU2]

Sounds like the collision is/could be contact that can be ignored especially if you have a clean breakaway by B2. I would have to see the play.....

So it is contact that you would have called if the player had the ball but is now incidental if the player doesn't have the ball?

If B1's contact put an opponent at a disadvantage defensively, you have to call it.

Perhaps. Depends on advantage/disadvantage. Contact on a player with the ball might cause a disadvatage to that player, where the same contact on the player without the ball might cause no disadvantage. Just depends.
