Foul without contact?

[BillyMac]

Note: This discussion does have some merit. It's the difference between no free throws for a player control foul, or two free throws taken by the best free throw shooter on the team for a technical foul.

Well I'm, glad I could stir up some trouble with my first thread.

For those finding it hard to believe that the play could have occurred the way I described, with our player being dislodged due to contact only with the ball, here is a picture of the two players involved in the play.

And interestingly, here's the same defender involved in a remarkably similar play in another game in the tourney. It kinda of shows how it went down, though I felt like the other girl thrust the ball out much more. There was visible space between them. I believe this one was called PC.

Well, in this pic, I see at least 3 different points of body contact.

You cannot officiate with a picture, but I see a lot more contact than with just the ball in these pictures.

What do you mean? I'm the best damned official in the world when watching from the stands or on TV.

That's not the play. I never suggested that there is no contact in that picture, just that it was a play that unfolded in a similar fashion with her defensive positioning and with the bigger girl with the ball out in front of her.
