Philosophy question (video)...

[JetMetFan]

When I saw the contact I knew the call was going to be made, possibly because it was GV. I hoped there wouldn't have been a whistle for a couple of reasons:

*These are varsity players
*Even though the ball was knocked away from the player in White, she had three of her teammates standing right there...meaning it's not like the contact stopped a fast break.

I am not convinced the ball was illegally knocked out of the rebounder's hand. It looks like to me like players were going at the ball and it was not under control. And no one was knocked down and certainly not put at some serious disadvantage if there was some contact. The right team was going to get the rebound and this would have been a rather routine no-call IMO.

No foul.

And if there IS a foul ... not calling this one.

Although the video quality is lacking, it looks like the player in red gets a hand on the middle to upper half of the ball making it difficult for white to secure the ball anyway. White did not have possession on the rebound, just inside position. Red is taller and is able to make a play on the ball that prevents a clean rebound.
