A1 drives towards low block...and pulls up. B2 comes from the FT line, contact knocks A1 towards the end line. B2 swats ball up top. Illegal contact occurred. Period. I had a push. Displacement, not impedance.

B2 gives me his best pleading, "I got all ball" face. I tell him "Body" and tap my chest.

If I had the call as trail and was now administering FTs I would certainly consider talking to a player about the illegal contact. As lead moving to new trail I would not return to the 'scene of the crime' to have any such discussion. Move on.
