One area I wish to improve in is slowing down my whistle on the shots from in or near the post. I think I've blown the whistle too quickly several times on the defense when they were arms straight up and it was the shooter that was bringing the contact (arms/hands) by moving forward. I know the defense isn't always innocent when they hold their "straight up" position and look at you quizzically but in retrospect, I know sometimes I blow it. Any suggestions on this situation?

Rizzo21,
Glad yer having fun out East.
When the contact is close at hand, concentrate on the defender's action. If there is contact and the defender did nothing incorrectly, you will have your no-call, or team control foul.
Do you know the *term* for that concentration on the defender subsequent to contact?

Catatonia?
Rizzo, sounds like you're having fun. Stick with it, you'll be anticipating coach's timeouts and making no calls & late calls with the best of them!
