Ok, I'll admit the phrasing "right guy" could ruffle some feathers and insinuate prejudice officiating, just pointing out that may happen. Allow me a redo:

The refs on this play made the correct call from what we could see on this clip; however, I don't believe there would have been a lot of argument the other way:)

We'll frequently see this at the HS level on a last second long-distance heave where the shooter will throw himself into the defender. And of course the shooter's coach wants a foul. No freaking way.

Okay, slightly different sitch from a game I worked this week: A-1 goes airborne. Defender B-2 has his spot in the lane, but facing in another direction (turned about a 90 degrees from the path of the shooter). Instinctively, the defender jumps, and has clear verticality, but is not facing the shooter when contact is made (shooter's torso into defender's side). Blocking?
