After the game I caught some hell from some Fanboys of the loosing team, which was B's team parents. they felt we called the games too seriously and tight. The game as I stated was close. Team evenly matched. Do you guys think that calling a summer AAU league to the letter of the rule books is too strict. Keep in mind if you read my other post "what would you do" where coach mouthing off I wanted to work on my mechanics, my rule interpretation, positioning improving my game. I guess damn if you do and damn if you don't. I didn't care what the fanboys were saying, But wanted to hear from you guys..
Please some feedback..

1.) My opinion is that summer league games, especially AAU, require MORE game control out of the officials than do regular season contests. Therefore, if the game warrants it, I have no problem using the rulebook to crack down on the behavior problems.
2.) Some questions about your particular play:
Could you please specify what you mean by the underlined part?
Is the ball ON/touching the ring or is it merely ABOVE the ring IN the imaginary cylinder?
Lastly, was this 2-man or 3, and were you Lead, C, or Trail on this play?
FWIW, I think that I would have called the T as well.
