contact on the "off" hand/arm - what's the call?

[MrPlywood]

"Maybe try yelling real loud at the refs. Let us know how it works out for you."

My question was sincere, just trying to find out the mindset of someone who actually calls a game. No need to be pithy.

Trust me, I play through a lot and don't whine. I'm a converted wrestler so I can bang if I need to.

I try to adjust my to game to how the refs are calling it or to the "local" rules. The contact I'm describing does put me at a disadvantage, and I was just curious how trained refs rationalized the decision to call it or not –*what the line is. I see the inconsistency all the time in NCAA games especially, when a guy can get hammered with no call, then the next trip down the floor a mild reach in gets a whistle.

Thx for the feedback.

I doubt your description is accurate but I will say that it is a point of emphasis in the NCAA to keep your hands off the ball-handler.

I doubt you're seeing this accurately. Likely, when the guy gets hammered with no call, there are other reasons. Namely, the nail is running into the hammer.

Thats a wise move!

Perhaps you have some film you could post, seeing is believing. As others have stated mere contact doesnt make it a foul.
