You can't call in the 4th quarter what you didn't call in the 1st quarter. If you want to enforce lane violations, you have got to set your precedent early in the game. If not, you live with your leniency. Of course, you have to call the obvious ones, regardless of where you are in the game, but if it was as you stated in your posting, un-noticable, keep playing. I still use phrases like "let it get the rim guys" or "don't be early" when I'm lead administering the 2nd of a 1-1 or a 2 shot foul. Preventative officiating--even in the 4th quarter!
