Game tonight has me pondering when to go get contact...

[jdw3018]

Had a really good game tonight. Ended as a four-point win, two teams with relatively talented ball-handlers and one with decent big men. Smaller team plays very tough, fundamental defense.

Overall, was pleased with how the game unfolded. However, we had 3 or 4 pretty decent crashes during the game that went uncalled. None of them were in my primary. One I'm pretty certain was a PC - it was in transition, I was C, it was in the lane opposite side and I had 4 or 5 players between me and the ball. Only saw the carnage. The others were all out of my PC and I didn't see the whole play.

They all left me with a bitter taste. The aftermath indicated there was far too much contact on most, if not all of them. The game would have been a better game, IMO, had something been called regardless of a block or charge.

I found myself second-guessing not getting the one that I'm pretty sure was a PC. It was the first of several. Any thoughts on how to handle this situation, both in terms of reaching for a call and in communicating with partners? All but one happened late in the game and we didn't have much of a break to talk about it.

Like I said, overall very happy with how the game went other than these 3 or 4 plays. They were all attempts to take a charge by the winning team - had the score been the other way in the last two minutes I could have seen it getting quite ugly.

Thoughts?
