Missunderstood Basketball Rules
Art N-I think your "leter to parents" is a great idea. However, I do disagre with one of your "rules". Several years back I called a charge "not player control" on a player. Obviously not a player control foul (nor was my mechanics signal for a player control foul (but a push) mechanic. The team coach to who the foul was called on wanted to know why the other team was shooting a one and one (8th foul). Long story-short, I finally gave up trying to explain the difference in a "charge" and a "player
control" foul to the coach. And I vowed to never again call a "charge". Now all my charges are a "pushing" foul. This is one of the most understood "calls", even by fellow officials. Keep up the good work.
