Ignoring this rule puts penalizes the team who did not violate the rules. How can that be appropriate?

I do work as instructed and apparently we were instructed differently.

As I stated and it seems like you and others do not subscribe to the theory let the players play.

Let's test your memory.

Don't know if you are a basketball fan but I am. The only time the NY Knicks beat the Chicago Bulls in a series was when Michael Jordan did not play and it took a call from "Hugh Hollins" to do it. To this day, that call is classified as one of the worst calls ever made in playoff History.

Why Because most Referees allow the players to play. This is the way is has been since the beginning of time.

If you would balk F1 on this play then it stands to reason you do not agree with the "Neighborhood Play" or the "Phantom tag"

At what point are you authorized to ignore your superiors?

Superiors! You talk as though these so called "superiors" are paying my mortgage. Well they are not.

At what point are you above the rules?

Ok Garth let's take a look at the uniform rules. Are you going to be that picky about uniforms. What about F1 delaying the game? Are you going to call the 20 second rule?

There are rules and then there are rules, and my gut tells me that even you would not have called a balk on this play.
