Had I said, "I don't recommend calling a foul when the coach is yelling for it," then you'd have a case.

Blinzebra,
What case?

mick

About passing on a 3 second call being unfair.
It would not feel fair to me.
What case?
About FAIRNESS. 3 seconds is the least called rule in the book, we all go out of our way to try not to call it, so how is it a moral dilemma to pass on calling it if the coach is screaming for it?

On an obvious foul, you have a point, but on 3 seconds there is no case...
I agree with mick, and I think that you're still missing his point. If 3 seconds is the proper call to be made because someone in the lane is gaining an unfair advantage, then the call SHOULD be made- no matter what either coach might have to say about it. That's fair. If 3 seconds was NEVER called, then you might have a case. Deliberately not making a call however, ANY call, just because a coach might happen to be calling for you to make that call, is wrong. You call what happens, and then deal with the coach as a separate issue.
