Thanks for the incites guys. I love being able to learn. I read my rule book and case book everyday trying to read everything and apparently I had not read this part yet.
By knowing this it makes things even worse for officials. If you call OOB on a player and said his foot was on the line, and not over the line fans won't say a word but you are wrong as far as the rules go. If you don't call out of bounds in the same situation and some fans see it you will get ripped the rest of the game.
Isn't it great to be an official and know you are right while every one else is ignorant of the rules and are booing you all over the place.
I loving being an official!!!!
I still ask the question do you make this call or leave it in a late game situation where very few fans if any saw the kid touch the line? For me I want to make the call. I don't want to be the official that doesn't call something that is automatic at any other point in the game. whether it is good or not I am going to pass on some things late in a game that I would usually take in the first half, but here in accordance to fouls I believe whole heartedly in the advantage/disadvantage philosophy.
If a defender reaches across the offensive players body and creates contact I will call it probably early in the game, but late in the game if it causes the player to lose the ball I have a foul and if it doesn't then play on. This are the things I am talking about.
But I need more incite so keep it coming.
