I was watching a BV game last night, and home team A1 (in front court)passes the ball to teammate A2, who leaps from the backcourt, catches the ball in mid air, and lands in the front court. The T, right on the division line, calls the backcourt violation. THE PLACE GOES NUTS!!!! Booing, etc. It got me to wondering what happens when the referees really blow a call.
Last year, someone in our chapter sent out a little memo, saying that if the crowd is reacting, it means you probably got the call wrong. At first, I kind of considered that true, but the more I see of fans' misunderstanding, or complete lack of knowledge of the rules, maybe I'd go to 25%.

Whoever sent that memo, must have never worked a game.
Any close call against their team, any strange looking play no-called, any play involving the BB myths, sprinkle in the calls they admit to but say, "Hey ref call it both ways," and I'd say it's less than 5%.
