Advantage/Disadvantage Rebounding

[bradfordwilkins]

The verbiage I've been taught and recite to myself in my head during rebounding is "Possession/consequence" -- That is to say, did the illegal contact cause a consequence (i.e. inability to save a ball going out of bounds, etc) or possession (they player or his/her teammate was able to get to the ball because of the contact). The other area is cleanup if it just is getting so physical that you need to whistle it to stop the rough-housing.

Depends too on the type of game that is being played. If things are getting chippy, you may want to call it just to let the players know you're not going to tolerate any baloney that may escalate. If the players think the referee isn't protecting them, they may start protecting themselves.
