No calls come with experience

I agree that great officials are even mannered and are very steady throughout. That is, their emotions, mind, and body stay steady throughout without wavering up and down in a game. The key is a high level of concentration the entire time, which is extremely difficult to maintain. One that can concentrate and focus during tense situations are the inidividuals that will succeed.

As to the comments about the GPS play with a rebounder coming to the floor and unable to land because a player is on the ground, I still stand by my earlier statements, crews, and eroe39's that a foul is the best call on that play. Again, have an open mind to another person's philosophy and experience, although you might not agree, there is no reason to berate them for it. As I don't believe anybody has berated comments about earlier comments that "all players are entitled to any spot on the floor." My question is, "what are they entitled to?" Standing, sitting, kneeling, laying down, standing on their head, having a drink, eating??" I believe the intent of the rule is that they are entitled to a position on the floor resulting in an athletic basketball type of movement on the floor and not lying on the ground.
