Incidental contact

If we are A, it was clearly a foul - B1 needs to play proper defense. If we are B, that was one heck of a defensive play and A1 should be more careful

So either way, we blew the call. Great!

I prefer to think that on every play, you have a 50-50 chance of being right. And in experience, you guys are right about half the time, depending on the actual foul count

In the play described, I have NEVER and will NEVER call a foul.

I have to agree with Nevada on this one. If the player doesn't move his arms toward the player with the ball I have nothing. Maybe his arms won't go straight up just like some officials I know. They can't extend their arms and lock their elbows. So if this is as "straight up" as they can be, how can you call a foul on them? We all know that most players think they are straight up and extend their arms one direction or the other. But in this sit. I think it is definitely a "no call".

No shooter ever gets bailed out by me on a play like this.
