I pregame all often about what we do in situations where rules apply. I had a situation years ago when I called a foul that is a TC foul and was advocating at the time to shoot the FTs. I had a partner come to me and ask me, "Was that a TC foul?" I agreed and we did not shoot any FTs. I tell that story to say that at the moment we all call something and forget the nuance of the rule we might apply. I say to not allow that to just happen or talk about it later. I would just add this to the pregame discussion and you might be able to get a feel for why others do what they do or give them the power to feel like they can broach the conversation. Not saying it will solve all things, but when you open the discussion of these kinds of topics, that usually empowers the right people to at least check when they get a chance before a screw-up.

Peace
