It seemed the popular answer to ignore the call based on the theory/practice of advantage/disadvantage.
By rule, A/D applies to contact in determining whether it's a foul. Violations don't require advantage or disadvantage to be called. Line calls, illegal dribbling, traveling, 5 seconds, 10 seconds, etc., do not require advantage.

Frankly, at the high school level, I'm probably going to call this if I see it. Below that, I'll talk to the kid.
That is how I was told to apply Ad/Disad. However, i was a bit stunned by other threads implying they would let violations go based on adv/disadv. To me, this could make adv/disadv a bit too arbitrary in its application.
Relax, will ya.

The other thread had to do with a player making a free throw with his foot touching the line.

If your goal is to have everyone know how well you've memorized the rule book knock yourself out & call this FT violation.

I'm sure your audience will enjoy their kid's 3rd grade game that much more, knowing you're on top of every little thing.
