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.

stripes,
thanks for the support. but i fear you have chosen the mark of death by following me into the lions den. as has been stated in previous post that higher level officials use this philosophy. i am not try to scorn anyone for not using this philosophy, or demand that it must be used by anyone. i am just trying to give my opinion on the play as i would call it.
