Both are legitimate but different methods of playing defense. Why is it suddenly up to the official to decide which tactic the team has to use?
This one is even worse. In fact, it is such garbage that I am eagerly waiting for JR to show up and see it. I'm going to go make my popcorn now. He'll probably tell you to quit officiating and go coach. Actually, I'll tell you that myself. Ignoring fouls late in the game is not "letting the players decide the outcome." It's failing to do your job properly and screwing the offended team.

I appreciate your respect of my opinion, very classy individual you are. Your "my crap dont stink attitude" is very pleasant. Ignoring fouls late in the game is not what I said...it's what you say to make your argument stronger. I said that in late game situations that players should be allowed to decide games. It goes back about 5 weeks ago to the Sheldon Williams no call at the end of the FSU game. I thought it was a foul. There was obvious body contact, but the official chose to pass on it. Why? Situation, last 5 sec. of the game. I guess your going to call the slightly displacing hand check with 3 sec. to go in the NCAA Regional semis too huh? Get real. Augustus was leaning away from the contact (already in flop mode), not to mention the fact that the ball was already gone. This is one IMO (note to jackass MY OPINION) that could/should have been passed on.
