Thanks Jay R.

A player lifts his pivot foot before releasing the ball in the backcourt with no defensive pressure, I am going to ignore that violation. The same action occurs when the dribbler is going around the defender to score, I am calling the travel.
Why would one ignore a violation?
Is that common to all levels of play and is that what Int'l leagues do too? I dont mean to sound rude, but as a rabid fan whooped up into a frenzy wanting every possible break for my favorite squad, if I can spot that, then surely a ref must. If you could back away from being an offical for a sec and look at the avg fan's position... Why is a violation not a violation when seen?

Pushing a screener (or slamming) into the shooter is a foul.
Yeah, I guess it would be a foul... but the underlying question I didnt state very well.. Is when is being physical, TOO physical ... and forces a new consideration into whats allowable contact vs: possibly diffusing and controlling a situation may get out of hand.

3. Thanks for the info..

4. This one is moot if there is nothing more to game management.


again.. thanks
