First of all I often hear "penalize where it hurts the most," with no mention that it applies only for the offense.
Also "penalize the offense where is hurts the most," does not include something to the effect of "in most cases" or "usually," and a newer official might assume it means always.
I agree that it is probably not a big deal, but I do not think it is that tough to learn about basic spots, the all-but-one principle, etc. [/B]

"Penalize where it hurts the most," has got to be the worst possible phrase tossed around by officials. These guys are taking the easy way out instead of just learning and applying the All But One. Ive seen very experienced officials kick simple enforcements relaying on this faulty logic. And as far as teaching this to a new guy, I cant believe someone would start a new guy out by teaching him such a bad habit and IMHP taking the lazy way out
