Thanks for the advice, all. I think I'm just going to call the game the way the rules are written. If I'm given any grief, oh well! (Newest rule interpretation: travelling - the player with the ball gets two steps - I can't wait to call a violation where he/she doesn't take two steps).
On another rant and rave, a few seasons back, on one of those 'other' boards, there was an official named "T-Less in TN" who claimed that he wanted to give someone a technical foul.
For this, my first season, my goal will be to give the Holy Grail of basketball officiating - the Multiple Foul! (Note: I am completely kidding on this). However, the eternal quest still remains (otherwise it wouldn't be eternal, right?) If anyone sees/hears of a multiple foul, share that knowledge with the world!!
P.S. at least the clinician was right in saying that the 10 second FT violation has never been called in the history of basketball and that there is no such foul as "Over-the-Back." (Although "going over the player's back" is a foul in our rulebook summary.)
