Philosophy question (video)...
 

How many of you think this play needs a whistle?

The thought ran through my mind when the foul was called. Was White put at a disadvantage?

Pass.

Game interupter. Play on!

I had to watch twice to see what was being whistled...minimal contact...no disadvantage or displacement...leave it alone. What's bad is that it reinforces "Over the Back" myth.

It was so minimal that at first viewing I thought it must be something else and I missed it. Pass.

Same here had to watch twice to see what was called. I would let this go.

Color It ...
 

... incidental contact.

In fact the contact was initiated by the White player jumping into the alleged fouler.

It looks like a typical acceptable girls basketball foul to me.

Peace

I see a slap that knocks the ball loose, but the right team keeps the ball. I might call this in a middle school game, but not a high school varsity game.

I don't see anything that needs calling.

At first, that was what I was thinking....that it was even reversed but the foul that was called was the slap that knocked the ball free.

That said, a pass is not a bad idea.

Pasadena. No possession consequence.

Pasadena +1!
 

In pre-game, I will say that we'll have a better game if we can avoid rebounding foul calls where there is no possession consequence. If it's non-basketball, or really egregious, put a whistle on it. But if the defensive team has the ball, let's roll.

Excellent call.
