Well said and an excellent point.

I think that Tom was talking about a "game interrupter" as being in the same vein as a "cheap foul" though. [/B][/QUOTE]I have noticed that in the many different replies from many individuals, I have yet to hear anyone make reference to one criteria for making the call. The position you are in, in reference to making the call. Are you making the call from the T and C or are you making the call from the L position.
As I said in my original text I have made this call in different games at different times, but probally the most significent criteria to making the call is positioning and was I in transition.
So great ones give me your opinion.
