i thought i could post a question/ senario and get an honest response, without people totally misinterpreting the real and original post. I really didnt think i had to tell exactly what was going through my mind as to what happened if traffic would be bad on the way home, and what i would be doing tomarrow. to be completely honest, i saw the foul, and my partner called the foul, thats how i know that the contact occurred YEARS after the shot was released. heres some of the wild responses i now have to deal with...

The official's whistle will always sound after the foul has been committed. So once again, I ask, was the ball released before the foul or after the foul. Saying that the ball "was released before the foul/whisle blew" does not answer the question I posed in my first post.
mark to easily answer your question on the what if; i guess i have to be EXTRA careful on how i word things to make sure its very clear.the ball was released before the foul occurred; and how do i know that? i did see the foul, but my partner called it before i did. and the shot was long gone.

Josh, Looking at what you wrote above, I have to ask, if you saw the foul committed by A2?
It seems that you did not, since you were watching your primary area and the shooter, A1, who was in it.
If that is true, then how can you say the following?:

nevadaref, i already answered your question at the same time i answered marks.

WHAT FOOTLOCKER SAID IS SADLY TRUE:This is a typical referee answer though. A ref will ask a question about a rule (i.e. runing the end line). Then Mr. Senior Official will complicate the scenario by questioning another aspect of the situation that is really not the point. Way too typical.In two posts the question was asked and answered completely.
JR, FOOTLOCKER, THANKS FOR YOUR SUPPORT.!~
If you're just looking for someone to pat you on the back, then great. If you are looking for feedback, then you may not always get the feedback you want.
