It's not that I don't want to call it because it doesn't get called very often. Plenty of things don't get called often, but need to be called when they happen -- intentional / flagrant fouls, etc.

I don't want to call it because it is #23 of 51 Ways to Ruin a Baseball Game -- "Make an unusual call on a routine play"

(Yes, I realize that we are talking basketball, not baseball, but MANY of the 51 Ways equally apply to all sports!)

Why do this to yourself? Call the foul and put the guy on the line. NO coach, fan, or player is going to even THINK that two fouls should be called. Everyone will be happy and there will be no protest and the game will go on without issue. Don't put yourself in a bad situation just so that you can be "right" according to a super-analytical interpretation of the rules.



As far as the website, I assume that you are asking about batt.cc? The cc stands for Cocos Islands, which are located in Asia near Indonesia. (Each country in the world has its own two-letter top-level domain -- the US's is .us)



I got the batt.cc because the .com and .net and .org were taken.

You don't have to live in the Cocos Islands to use .cc, but judging by this photo I might want to!
