"No, that one was a good one."
"Ummm, almost none of them are actually, and that wasn't the exception."

No sense in dying on that hill by myself, so I had an epiphany earlier this season and I'm done calling them.

Had a relatively high-profile game today with one of the only other guys who would put whistles on these moves, and we both let an obvious, easy one go right in front of us. Kid makes the layup, everyone's happy, nobody says boo, and we both looked at each and laughed upcourt.

I'm OK with that....but whatever you do, don't come up with a defensive foul on a player that is trying to defend that and is late getting into position. It is patently unfair to a defender to allow the offense to travel and still be required to get LGP in time.
