Am I haveing a brain f@rt? Doesn't team control end with a shot attempt? The OP said the scrum occurred during rebounding action. That tells me there is no team control.

It wasn't the OP that is being referenced. AremRed threw out another example.

I've never seen anything like it, her head bounced off the floor like a bouncy-ball. The ball was loose in the middle of the lane, being batted around by s few girls.

I blew it dead immediately. Girl was fine, walked off almost right away. Resumed at arrow. As others have said, you gotta have a feel for it.

I agree with killing this play, but I'd give the ball back to A since they still had team control.

I would never fault another official for killing play because he/she thought somebody was hurt/injured. Especially in a rec contest.

I don't think they bashed heads when they collided--just ran into each other. Although I only saw it briefly the fact that they both got up and although woozy they both ended up ok indicates to me they were just momentarily stunned.
