I already make enough decisions.
So you like making decisions based on a feel of where the ball should go? Not the hard and fast lines of the 3-point line? Sorry, not hard at all. Very easy if you just know where the violation or foul or even stoppage of play took place. Rarely is this much of a debate as before it was often a debate.

Peace
