Breathe, Nate. Relax a little. It's too early in the morning for that level of frustration.

I would personally never use Dan's line "everybody's doing it", b/c the coach would probably have a retort that I wouldn't like. Having said that, there are plenty of things that we let go b/c they have no effect on the game.

Little guys with one foot in the lane for 4 seconds. Palming the ball while dribbling alone in the backcourt. Hand checking while the dribbler is not making any attempt to go to the basket.

Even as a self-proclaimed enforcer of the rules, I let these things go all the time. They're just not important. And if you're working a little kids game, then there's even more stuff that you're going to let go; otherwise your game will take 3 hours.
