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.

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.

[scrounge]

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

[Scuba_ref]

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

[BillyMac]

... incidental contact.

[Raymond]

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

[JRutledge]

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

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.

[deecee]

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.

[referee99]

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.
