Interesting, because I have worked wtih 'Newbies' (1 or 2 years) that call it often, until they are 'broken' of that habit. I have worked with the 'over-officious' (new board word!!) types that swear they are awesome refs, and call it every chance they get. I have worked with college and CBA officials that don't call it at all unless a player or coach gets under their skin. Like I posted earlier, I call it only when there is a definite advantage gained. Posting up on the block, backing defender down without ball, in at least 5 seconds, then the ball is set up on the same side and a pass is forced in. After I have given the verbal warning a couple of times.

What I really hate is the 'A$$istant coaches' on the sidelines (fans & parents) that miss a really good basketball game because they only see players standing in the paint!! LOL!
