Whoo-eeee...boy, will you ever get some varying responses here!
Sooooo, you want us officials to ADMIT that we will sometimes let a violation go, hey?
Here is the "black and white" response:
The rules were put in place for a reason...so enforce them!
You wouldn't let a player touch the OOB line without a call, would you? So don't let a player touch any line they are not alowed to without a call! What other rules are you going to choose to ignore?
Here is the "advantage/disadvantage" response:
There was no advantage gained by the player barely touching the 3pt. line with his/her itsy bitsy toe. Why make such an absurd call? The opposing Coach probably wouldn't want you making that call on his/her player either.
Here is the "depends on" response:
depends on what level...call it in Middle School to teach them a lesson.
depends on what time of the game it is...maybe call it early, but don't you dare call it with one second left in a tie ball game during the State Championship game!
There are a few responses...fellow officials, let us hear more!
