Oh really? I didn't see that & still don't see where he said that. Below in bold is what I was refering to. Sorry, but I dont see myself calling a foul in this situation & I would hope you wouldn't either as contact may be severe & still not a foul in this instance.

What happens if A1 - deep in the corner - throws a full court Baseball pass to A2, during the pass B1 fouls A1; do you wait the two / three seconds to see if A2 can retrieve the pass? or do you call the foul?
