1) Because we don't get to make up our own rules.

2) Because we don't get to decide which or whether administrative rules should be called or not.

3) Because administrative rules aren't called by advantage/disadvantage.

4) Because you're sureashell not making sure that the game is being played fairly if you ignore administrative fouls by one team.

5) Because Team B made that clerical error-- not the official scorer or team A.
