A1 Misses shot of the rim. A5 is being boxed out by B5. A5 Jumps/Pushes onto and into B5's back to make a play for the ball. A5 gets hands on it as a result of the contact but the ball goes off B5. Out of bounds.


I've gotten to the point with this call that if I get a new partner I will pregame it with them to make sure we are on the same page in terms of the call. Some partners will call the foul to clean up the play, others will simply give the ball to team A as they are not disadvantaged. Obivously knocking someone down or significant displacement is a serperate issue.

What would you have generally in your games call wise? Pushing foul on this play or just the OOB?

B5 plays great defense and A5 affected B5's ability to secure possession. Foul on A5. Easy call. Don't play these silly games where B5 touched it last and you give it back to B5 on an out of bounds violation.
