Consider everyone's viewpoints, study the wording and interpretations yourself, and then decide what makes the most sense to you...even if whatever you decide is not popular with every single other official you come into contact with.
If one is not going to follow the interp as handed down, the better alternative is to call it the way one's assignor or commissioner wants it called. If we all just called things the way we like or think, there wouldn't BE a game of Basketball. It would be Calvinball, complete with the revenge fouls, the name-calling and the fist fights. Better to fit in to a group, but keep lobbying for change to a position that seems more reasonable.
You mean I can't just decide that nifty little move to the basket was cool enough for me to ignore the travel that made it happen? Awwwww....c'mon! You are no fun!
