Message: [QUOTE="JoePgh, post: 3107939, member: 1131"] I agree with everyone that the out-of-bounds call was outrageously bad, and it's hard to see how that mistake could have been made -- what was the ref looking at? I think the jump ball call was possibly defensible -- if the defender reached around Crystal's body and got two hands on the ball, and then (since Crystal obviously wasn't going to let go of the ball) used that as leverage to tackle her (without her hands directly touching Crystal's body), then maybe it was a literally correct call. But I agree with the poster who said that there should be a rule that tie-ups can't be done from a position behind the ball handler. The present rules don't say that, however. [/QUOTE]
