And jrut, having read your philosophy on many subjects related to higher level ball and based on your high level playing experience, I bet you don't call the run of the mill defensive rebounding pushoff on a made shot. You pass on it like 99.9% of varsity refs. And most games do not feature a whole bunch of violent shoves that demand to be called. When they happen, call 'em. That's not the play I am discussing.
Coach, you are correct on one thing, I am not calling the run of the mill push. But I do not care if the ball goes in or does not go in either. I will blow my whistle before the ball even has an ultimate chance. The result of the play is not going to be a factor in an off-ball situation necessarily. If that action completely unneccessary and is not basketball related.

Peace
