I disagree completely with you on this one. If it's that obvious that everyone in the gym can see it, then it's gotta be called. It's not like stepping on a 2" line, where you have a little wiggle room.

And where do you cut it off? It's OK to step over the line before the shot? Right? Is it also OK to step over the line during the shot- i.e. during the shooting motion and while the shot is in the air before it hits the board? And if not, whatintheheck is the difference?
