The game has evolved and the rule interpetations have evolved with the game. The rules are interpeted differently at various levels and in different regions. If you call 3 sec. at the college level you will not work, at the high school level you may or may not work depending on the level of play or local interpetation of the rules and if you call it at the lower levels you will probably have plenty of work. It is important that your refereeing style is appropriate for your level of play and the local interpetation of the rules. That's what makes this forum so great in that it covers all levels of play and many regions of the country so we can find out what others are doing. Learn what is accepted in your area and your level of play and you will be in demand and a tribute to your profession.
