Falling and handling

[Multiple Sports]

Yo brother -

You are always right on it on the hoops forum, As a fellow bb ref who works soccer in the fall as well, think of it this way.

We don't call a kick in bball umless there is intent. I treat a handball the same way. No intent no whistle.

You could argue according to the definition, that any hand ball is worthy of a card (yellow) because the player did it on purpose to stop an advantage......

Wondering what the "soccer guys" think.. I am a basketball zebra masquerading as a soocer official in the fall........
