The ref wants to go home. Stopping the game for a minute and shooting FT reduces his pay per minute. AND explaining the rule to the coach. If we are shooting you have to explain why he gets shots. If we aren't shooting the ball is put into play and there is no time gap to have a talk. This has been a POE and I believe it's about keeping the game going so we can go home sooner. IF you call it and your partners do not then you look like the bad guy. I think we are really bad and miss this way too much. I pregame DO not let me put it on the ground if it was clearly a shot. We get wrapped up in the foul and who fouled etc and we forget on non-obvious shooting fouls to put them on the line.
