Probably too late to address the issue this season in an association meeting...

Lord Byron,
Had one of these a few nights ago.
I passed on the call, because by the time the defender, who had perfect position, stepped back [and kinda flopped], there wasn't enough contact to call.

That's a good no-call, Sir Mick. My complaint concerns the play where the dribbler goes right through the defender's chest, and this instructor is telling people to call a block because the defender (with LGP) took a step back.
