No. The coach says, "Hey, that is over the back." He says, "No contact, no foul." He should say, "No illegal contact which hindered the opponent from preforming his normal movements."

That sentence is too long, IMO, so unless the coach has actually asked a question, I don't respond to "over the back." Oddly, I've never had a coach actually ask why this isn't a foul; they simply yell "over the back."

Did you forget a smiley?

Me I'm going with "he didn't touch him coach" or "he went straight up".

If the coach infers my first statement to mean that any contact during a rebound is a foul that's his problem. The minimum requiremet for a foul is contact, it's not the only requirement.

Yeah, of course you can't say that whole long sentence. But if you shorten it too much like the one poster did then other problems are created.
