2)If he does, this is where the foul has to be what my teachers refer to as a "HIGH CERTAINTY" call meaning that you have to have no doubt in your mind that this was an illegal screen and this player gained an advantage from it. [/B]

1) Breathe guys?
Breathe guys? Lah me!
2) A "HIGH CERTAINTY" call? Every call we make out there had better damn well be a "HIGH CERTAINTY" call. Fouls, violations, out-of-bounds-- don't matter. We aren't supposed to blow the whistle unless we're certain about why we're blowing it. No guessing allowed. [/B][/QUOTE]
Jurrassic I know you know this. You are just trying to be hard on me because I am young. "High Certainty" is terminology in officiating. You have CERTAINTY, HIGH CERTAINTY, 50/50 CALLS, FOOL THE REFEREE, RSBQ, and things of that sort.
I never suggested guessing, but you have to be more certain of a call at the end of a close game, than you do 3 minutes into the game.
Have you been certain every time you blew the whistle when it went OOB on your line?
Just asking the question and would like to hear the response?
Do you think a trip, elbow flick, or eye poke could be an educated guess call? Have you ever called either of the three without knowing with "High Certainty" that it happened?
