True, Juulie, it does get let go a lot. Funny, I see it a lot in girls' games, as well as boys games.
I went to a camp once where a college coach was a guest speaker and indicated that this was a pet peeve of his, and wished more officials would call it - in addition to the shuffle step a lot of players do between receiving a pass and starting a dribble around a defender.
I must admit I'm guilty of letting this go a lot - I have called it if it was REALLY pronounced, but by and large, I find most players and coaches don't obsess about it.
Tough one.
