Greetings!

Last week we faced with another “questionable” moment and seek for the independent opinion.

Based on this angle, that looks like good defense by Blue.

There was non-minor contact and foul was called by yellow player.

Here some possible outcome:

1. Yellow player ran into the space but hasn’t ensure that blue player change his direction (poach) – failed legal position/movement by yellow: he initiated the contact.

2. Yellow played ran with no direction changes. Blue player played man-D but changed(!) his movement direction in the very last moment so yellow player haven’t any chances to avoid non-minor contact. Here blue player initiated the non-minor contact.

3. Both player moved in the same spot with non-minor contact as the result that may be treated as offsetting foul.

Could you please help with that options (or may be other ones)?

Thank you in forward!

This is the best description:
