It's just like any other POE. It will be called for the first couple of weeks. Then the coaches will start complaining to the booking agents about officials who are calling it, while others are not calling it. It's no different than palming or intentional fouls, which were POE last year. I called them by the book last year for the first month and caught more grief than I ever have before. Or ever will again, if you get my drift.
I'm no longer a purist, Dan. Now I am a realist.
