Player Control?

[Jurassic Referee]

My intention was to say that in these "under the basket" situations, PC foul is sometimes but NOT ALWAYS the right call (such as the original situation stated which I still maintain was one where shooter should not be penalized).

My other point was that we officials constantly massage the rules, apply/do not apply them, according to the natural flow of the game, and this may be an example of that.
[/QUOTE]Good points!I can see a little bit better now where you are coming from.

In NFHS rules,which you don't use and aren't used to,the play where an airborne shooter knocks a defender(in a legal gaurding position) down when he returns to the floor is usually called an player contol foul.The rules state that that is the way that the play should be called.
NCAA rules give an official more latitude,and allows them to use more judgement in deciding whether to call something or not.IMO,if someone is getting run over big-time,you're usually better off calling the appropriate foul rather than no-calling it,though.
