Bad call?

I worked a BV game last night where a player went down. He was displaced and probably went down a bit too easy, but I didn't care. Both teams decided last night to drive at every opportunity and try to go through players -- I had 6 player control fouls myself and 3 blocking fouls that would've been had the defense been a bit better.

It's likely that A1 traveled after the contact if she bounced off the defender. That's the one to get if it's there.

I was thinking about a ms game I had a few days ago, 7th grade girls and defender who is twice the size of A1, is right up on her. As young kids,especially girls do, they are both just standing there. eventually A1 falls backward on her touchus. I call a travel. Made me think, how did she fall over? She couldn't weigh more than 80 pounds, I could have sneezed and she would have fallen. Advantage/disadvantage? Defender appeared not to move. I realize of course the level but philosophically was she disadvantaged? Would I be penalizing defender? Believe me, you can see more situations in a ms girls game than any boys varsity.
