Oh, my, gosh!! Not one in a thousand does this. Snaps to you, tutall, for taking the plunge. Keep posting here. We'll be happy to see your development.

i still see the call the same way. Looking from the outside in i can see why most refs call those fouls as most of the time they look at lot more harmful than they really are. I choose most of the time not to call anything unless as i stated before it impedes progress to the basket which then obviously it has to be called.

What you'll see more and more as you step back from playing is that the hand-check has more effect than can be seen. If it didn't, players wouldn't do it! It's a lot more important than you now realize, and you'll start to see that as you become more objective.

Was reading this thread and wondered how the heck did he become an official that quick? Didn't realize the thread started in 2003 --Duh!
