Also most experienced officials do not spend their time talking about what is different at each levels. I call the exact same game at the college level that I call at the HS level. I would call these plays at the HS level the same as I would in the college level.

I was referencing the plays at the basket like these and I stand by my statement that the NBA allows more contact on these plays then you typically see at high school level at least in my area.

What if the player is dribbling a ball at the top of the key. The defender charges him and slaps the ball away. A moment later the defender on the same path that allowed him to move in quickly enough to knock the ball away then runs into the offensive player and knock him down. Are we to also ignore this contact because the ball was already knocked away making everything that happens after incidental?

These would not be seen as good calls for bigger school varsity boy's basketball.

Again, not a hard-fast rule as was stated, but I saw nothing that was egregious or over the top that had to be called.
