Question: Considering there was no displacement, I didn't blow whistle. But in hindsight, should I have? I mean, to prevent it from getting so physical later on in the game when calls really start to count.
How does an official's consistency play into this? If we have not been calling it all night, should we begin now?
just wondering....thanks

When a smaller player is really working at moving a larger, stronger player, I will make the call against the little person if I judge that same effort will move a normal sized person.
My rationalization for this call, though no disadvantage is apparent, is that the action does put the stronger person at a disadvantage.

Hey Mick, Shaq just called. He sez he's thinks you're ready to work the NBA, he's gonna put your name in.
