Then you'd be disagreeing with the likes of Jim Bain, John Adams, Tony Stigiliano, and several other college assignors, evaluators, and officials.
I myself find it hard to have a whistle every time a player goes to the floor...whether I know how he got there or not. (I better know!
) It is something I'm trying to improve upon. I used to defend my no-call if neither player would gain an advantage by the crash...meaning, the defensive player wasn't quite set or the offensive player was out-of-control, etc. These calls are not always crystal clear. However, the more college camps I go to, the more I hear, "If a player goes to the floor and nothing good happens right away (i.e. a basket, quick turnover), then an official
HAS to have a whistle."
