Hawks Coach- We must do things a lot different up here but in 40 years I have only seen that called once and the official who was being evaluated at the time was really raked over the coals for calling it. I never forgot that day and I have always found a way to prevent such things without bringing attention to myself and have never been accused of favoring or coaching a team on those occassions. I agree with the philosophy that the rules are just a guide and I believe that most of the top officials in the States handle these situations in a similar manner.I have worked with your top D1 officials on occassion and I know they would never get involved in a situation like that- they would prevent it in a manner similar to what I have suggested.That's one of the reasons they reached that level.
