I've got to give it you. You continue your crusade on officiating with all of these guys even though they will never see eye to eye with you. Lots of guy's would have given up by now. Just to save themselves the grief.
The philsophy you give is (widely) accepted at the NCAA mens level, but is looked down upon by most NF officials because it is indefensible "by the book." What many NF officials have never accepted is that the rule book is a guide for how the game should be called. It is open to interpretation and the rules can apply differently on different parts of the court.
This is not a popular opinion (especially in this forum), but it is one that officials may need to subscribe to if they desire to move up in the men's game.
Flame away.

OK,Stripes,just give me a simple explanation on how a play that is called a charge in one case could become a block if you move it 10 feet?Also,let me know how you explain to a coach that he got a different call at his end because his player didn't stand in the right spot,even though everything else was the same?I'm not asking from a philosophical standpoint.I'm asking from a consistency standpoint.Please note that there is no flaming involved.
