Foul without contact?

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.

Peace

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.

I had a Men's Rec League game years ago where a tall player intentionally hit a much shorter player on top of the head with the ball. I gave him a T.

Ah... so two pictures from which we can derive exactly nothing. Cool.

Picture one shows the relative size of the two players involved for those having trouble believing that the defender would have been knocked down with ball only contact. Force equalling MASS times acceleration and all that.

Second picture was merely to help people picture how the play transpired. Simlilar, but not exact. Sorry I tried to help clarify.
